CGAL::Point_d<R>

Definition

An object of the class Point_d<R> is a point in $$d-dimensional Euclidean space $$E_d, where $$d is arbitrary.

Creation

A Point_d<R> object can be created from an iterator range.

template <class InputIterator>
Point_d<R> p ( int dim, InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
	if the range [first,last) contains dim elements, this creates a point with Cartesian coordinates as specified by the range. If [first,last) contains dim+1 elements, the range specifies the homogeneous coordinates of p. Precondition: dim is nonnegative, [first,last) has dim or dim+1 elements, and the value types of first and last are R::RT.

Note: in case your compiler does not support member templates, CGAL provides the following specialized constructor.

Point_d<R> p ( int dim, const R::RT* first, const R::RT* last);

Operations

bool	p.operator == ( q)
		Equality test. Two points are equal if they have the same dimension and agree in all coordinates.
bool	p.operator != ( q)
		Test for inequality.
R::RT	p.homogeneous ( int i)
		returns the i'th homogeneous coordinate of p, starting with 0. Precondition: $$0 i d.
R::FT	p.cartesian ( int i)
		returns the i'th Cartesian coordinate of p, starting with 0. Precondition: $$0 i < d.
R::FT	p.operator [] ( int i)
		returns the i'th Cartesian coordinate of p, starting with 0. Precondition: $$0 i < d.
int	p.dimension ()	returns the dimension d of p.
