template<typename Kernel >

Oriented_side CGAL::side_of_oriented_circle | ( | const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > & | p,
|  | const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > & | q,
|  | const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > & | r,
|  | const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > & | test
| ) |  |

`#include <CGAL/Kernel/global_functions.h>`

returns the relative position of point `test` to the oriented circle defined by `p`, `q` and `r`.

The order of the points `p`, `q` and `r` is important, since it determines the orientation of the implicitly constructed circle.

If `p`, `q` and `r` are collinear, the circle degenerates in a line. `CGAL::ON_ORIENTED_BOUNDARY` is returned if `test` is also collinear or if two points are identical, otherwise, `side_of_oriented_circle(r, q, test, p)` is returned.
