CGAL::Arr_observer<Arrangement>

Definition

Arr_observer<Arrangement> serves as an abstract base class for all observer classes that are attached to an arrangement instance of type Arrangement and recieve notifications from the arrangement. This base class handles the attachment of the observer to a given arrangement instance or to the detachment of the observer from this arrangement instance. It also gives a default empty implementation to all notification functions that are invoked by the arrangement to notify the observer on local or global changes it undergoes. The notification functions are all virtual functions, so they can be overridden by the concrete observer classes that inherit from Arr_observer<Arrangement>.

In order to implement a concrete arrangement observer-class, one simply needs to derive from Arr_observer<Arrangement> and override the relevant notification functions. For example, if only face-split events are of interest, it is sufficient to override just before_split_face() (or just after_split_face()).

typedef typename Arrangement_2::Point_2
Point_2; the point type.
typedef typename Arrangement_2::X_monotone_curve_2
X_monotone_curve_2; the x-monotone curve type.

typedef typename Arrangement_2::Vertex_handle
Vertex_handle;
typedef typename Arrangement_2::Halfedge_handle
Halfedge_handle;
typedef typename Arrangement_2::Face_handle
Face_handle;
typedef typename Arrangement_2::Ccb_halfedge_circulator

Creation

Arr_observer<Arrangement> obs;
constructs an observer that is unattached to any arrangement instance.


Arr_observer<Arrangement> obs ( Arrangement_2& arr);
constructs an observer and attaches it to the given arrangement arr.

Modifiers

void obs.attach ( Arrangement_2& arr) attaches the observer to the given arrangement arr.

void obs.detach () detaches the observer from its arrangement.

Notifications on Global Arrangement Operations

virtual void obs.before_assign ( Arrangement_2 arr)
issued just before the attached arrangement is assigned with the contents of another arrangement arr.
virtual void obs.after_assign () issued immediately after the attached arrangement has been assigned with the contents of another arrangement.

virtual void obs.before_clear () issued just before the attached arrangement is cleared.
virtual void obs.after_clear ( Face_handle uf) issued immediately after the attached arrangement has been cleared, so it now consists only of a the unbounded face uf.

virtual void obs.before_global_change () issued just before a global function starts to modify the attached arrangement. It is guaranteed that no queries (especially no point-location queries) are issued until the termination of the global function is indicated by after_global_change().
virtual void obs.after_global_change () issued immediately after a global function has stopped modifying the attached arrangement.

Notifications on Attachment or Detachment

virtual void obs.before_attach ( Arrangement_2 arr)
issued just before the observer is attached to the arrangement instance arr.
virtual void obs.after_attach () issued immediately after the observer has been attached to an arrangement instance.

virtual void obs.before_detach () issued just before the observer is detached from its arrangement instance.
virtual void obs.after_attach () issued immediately after the observer has been detached from its arrangement instance.
