## Definition

template<typename Traits>
class CGAL::Point_container< Traits >

A custom container for points used to build a tree.

Each point container holds the points from a rectangle associated with a node of the tree. In the remainder of this reference page this rectangle is called the associated rectangle. Provides a method to split a container and a number of methods to support the implementation of splitting rules.

Template Parameters

  Traits | must be model of the concept `SearchTraits`.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ max_tight_span_lower()

template<typename Traits >

FT CGAL::Point_container< Traits >::max_tight_span_lower | ( |  | ) | const

Returns lower value of the interval corresponding to `max_tight_span_coord()`.

That is, the smallest `max_tight_span_coord()`-th coordinate of the points in `c`.

## ◆ split()

template<typename Traits >
template<class SpatialSeparator >

void CGAL::Point_container< Traits >::split | ( | Point_container< Traits > & | c2,
|  | SpatialSeparator | sep,
|  | bool | sliding = `false`
| ) |  |

Given an empty container `c2` with the same dimension as `c`, splits `c` into `c`and `c2` using the separator `sep`.

If sliding is `true` after splitting each container contains at least one point. Container `c` should contain at least two points.
