AosVerticalRayShoot_2 Concept Reference

## Definition

A model of the `AosVerticalRayShoot_2` concept can answer vertical ray-shooting queries on an arrangement attached to it. Namely, given a `Arrangement_2::Point_2` object, representing a point in the plane, it returns the arrangement feature (edge or vertex) that lies strictly above it (or below it). By "strictly" we mean that if the query point lies on an arrangement edge (or on an arrangement vertex) this edge will not be the query result, but the feature lying above or below it. (An exception to this rule is the degenerate case where the query point lies in the interior of a vertical edge.) Note that it may happen that the query point lies above the upper envelope (or below the lower envelope) of the arrangement, and the vertical ray emanating from the query point goes to infinity without hitting any arrangement feature on its way. In this case the unbounded face is returned.

## Types
typedef unspecified_type | Arrangement_2
| the associated arrangement type.
typedef unspecified_type | Point_2
| equivalent to `Arrangement_2::Point_2`.

## Creation
| AosVerticalRayShoot_2 ()
| default constructor.
| AosVerticalRayShoot_2 (const Arrangement_2 &arr)
| constructs a ray-shooting object `rs` attached to the given arrangement `arr`.

## Query Functions
Arr_point_location_result< Arrangement_2 >::Type | ray_shoot_up (const Point_2 &q) const
| locates the arrangement feature that is first hit by an upward-directed vertical ray emanating from the query point `q`, and returns a handle for this feature.
Arr_point_location_result< Arrangement_2 >::Type | ray_shoot_down (const Point_2 &q) const
| locates the arrangement feature that is first hit by a downward-directed vertical ray emanating from the query point `q`, and returns a handle for this feature.

## Operations
void | attach (const Arrangement_2 &arr)
| attaches `rs` to the given arrangement `arr`.
void | detach ()
| detaches `rs` from the arrangement it is currently attached to.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ ray_shoot_down()

Arr_point_location_result< Arrangement_2 >::Type AosVerticalRayShoot_2::ray_shoot_down | ( | const Point_2 & | q | ) | const

locates the arrangement feature that is first hit by a downward-directed vertical ray emanating from the query point `q`, and returns a handle for this feature.

The function returns a discriminated union container of the following bounded types:

- `Arrangement_2::Halfedge_const_handle`, in case the vertical ray hits an arrangement edge;
- `Arrangement_2::Vertex_const_handle`, in case the vertical ray hits an arrangement vertex.
- `Arrangement_2::Face_const_handle` for the unbounded arrangement face, in case `q` lies below the lower envelope of the arrangement.

Precondition
  `rs` is attached to a valid arrangement instance.

## ◆ ray_shoot_up()

Arr_point_location_result< Arrangement_2 >::Type AosVerticalRayShoot_2::ray_shoot_up | ( | const Point_2 & | q | ) | const

locates the arrangement feature that is first hit by an upward-directed vertical ray emanating from the query point `q`, and returns a handle for this feature.

The function returns a discriminated union container of the following bounded types:

- `Arrangement_2::Halfedge_const_handle`, in case the vertical ray hits an arrangement edge;
- `Arrangement_2::Vertex_const_handle`, in case the vertical ray hits an arrangement vertex.
- `Arrangement_2::Face_const_handle` for the unbounded arrangement face, in case `q` lies above the upper envelope of the arrangement.

Precondition
  `rs` is attached to a valid arrangement instance.
