Are there any tutorials for using CGAL?
Most of these data structures and algorithms can be combined to achieve extensive and complex geometric tasks. The tutorials aim at providing help and ideas on how to use CGAL beyond the simple examples of the User Manual. Hello World presents you some short example programs to get a first idea for the look and feel of a program that uses CGAL.
Which is an example of a CGAL package?
Each CGAL package comes with a set of commented examples that illustrate basic features of the package. See for example Section Examples of the User Manual of the package 3D Triangulations.
Where to find compiler config.h in CGAL?
For each installation a file is defined, with the correct settings of all flags. This file is generated automatically by CMake, and it is located in the include directory of where you run CMake. For an in-source configuration this means CGAL-4.14.1/include.
What are the optional components of cgal.org?
CGAL has some optional components. During configuration, you can select the components that you would like to use by setting a CMake variable of the form WITH_ . By default all are switched ON, but some have specific dependencies in addition to the essential ones, so if you don’t need those, don’t hesitate to switch them OFF.
How to define a TIN data structure in CGAL?
A TIN data structure can thus simply be defined the following way: Point clouds in many formats (XYZ, OFF, PLY, LAS) can be easily loaded into a CGAL::Point_set_3 structure, using the stream operator.
Which is the notion of the kernel in CGAL?
We introduce the notion of the kernel which defines geometric primitives, the notion of traits classes which define what primitives are used by a geometric algorithm, the notions of concept and model. Each CGAL package comes with a set of commented examples that illustrate basic features of the package.
