## RegularTriangulationTraits_3

### Definition

The concept RegularTriangulationTraits_3 is the first template parameter of the class Regular_triangulation_3. It defines the geometric objects (points, segments...) forming the triangulation together with a few geometric predicates and constructions on these objects.

### Refines

TriangulationTraits_3

In addition to the requirements described for the traits class of Triangulation_3, the geometric traits class of Regular_triangulation_3 must fulfill the following requirements. It must provide definitions for the power tests.

We use here the same notation as in Section . To simplify notation, p will often denote in the sequel either the point p 3 or the weighted point p(w)=(p,wp).

RegularTriangulationTraits_3::Weighted_point_3
| The weighted point type.
RegularTriangulationTraits_3::Power_test_3
| A predicate object which must provide the following function operators: Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r, Weighted_point_3 s, Weighted_point_3 t), which performs the following: Let z(p,q,r,s)(w) be the power sphere of the weighted points (p,q,r,s). Returns ON_ORIENTED_BOUNDARY if t is orthogonal to z(p,q,r,s)(w), ON_NEGATIVE_SIDE if t lies outside the oriented sphere of center z(p,q,r,s) and radius sqrt( wz(p,q,r,s)2 + wt2 ) (which is equivalent to (t(w),z(p,q,r,s)(w) >0)), ON_POSITIVE_SIDE if t lies inside this oriented sphere. Precondition: p, q, r, s are not coplanar. Note that with this definition, if all the points have a weight equal to 0, then power_test(p,q,r,s,t) = side_of_oriented_sphere(p,q,r,s,t). Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r, Weighted_point_3 t), which has an definition analogous to the previous method, for coplanar points, with the power circle z(p,q,r)(w). Precondition: p, q, r are not collinear and p, q, r, t are coplanar. If all the points have a weight equal to 0, then power_test(p,q,r,s,t) = side_of_oriented_circle(p,q,r,s,t). Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 t), which is the same for collinear points, where z(p,q)(w) is the power segment of p and q. Precondition: p and q have different Bare_points, and p, q, t are collinear. If all points have a weight equal to 0, then power_test(p,q,t) gives the same answer as the kernel predicate s(p,q).has_on(t) would give, where s(p,q) denotes the segment with endpoints p and q. Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q), which is the same for equal points, that is when p and q have equal coordinates, then it returns the comparison of the weights (ON_POSITIVE_SIDE when q is heavier than p). Precondition: p and q have equal Bare_points.

The following predicate is required if a call to nearest_power_vertex or nearest_power_vertex_in_cell is issued:

RegularTriangulationTraits_3::Compare_power_distance_3
| A predicate object that must provide the function operator Comparison_result operator()(Point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r), which compares the power distance between p and q to the power distance between p and r.

### Operations

The following function gives access to the predicate object:

Power_test_3 | traits.power_test_3_object ()
