CGAL::box_self_intersection_all_pairs_d()
Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes Reference

##

The function `box_self_intersection_all_pairs_d()` computes the pairwise intersecting boxes in a sequence of iso-oriented boxes in arbitrary dimension.

It does so by comparing all possible pairs of boxes and is thus inferior to the fast `box_self_intersection_d()` algorithm.

The sequence of boxes is given with a forward iterator range. The sequence is not modified. For each intersecting pair of boxes a `callback` function object is called with the two intersecting boxes as argument.

The algorithm is interface compatible with the `box_self_intersection_d()` function. Similarly, we call the `value_type` of the iterators the box handle, which is either our box type or a pointer type to our box type.

A \( d\)-dimensional iso-oriented box is defined as the Cartesian product of \( d\) intervals. We call the box half-open if the \( d\) intervals \( \{ [lo_i,hi_i) \,|\, 0 \leq i < d\}\) are half-open intervals, and we call the box closed if the \( d\) intervals \( \{ [lo_i,hi_i] \,|\, 0 \leq i < d\}\) are closed intervals. Note that closed boxes support zero-width boxes and they can intersect at their boundaries, while non-empty half-open boxes always have a positive volume and they only intersect iff their interiors overlap. The distinction between closed or half-open boxes does not require a different representation of boxes, just a different interpretation when comparing boxes, which is selected with the `topology` parameter and its two values, `Box_intersection_d::HALF_OPEN` and `Box_intersection_d::CLOSED`.

The algorithm uses a traits class of the `BoxIntersectionTraits_d` concept to access the boxes. A default traits class is provided that assumes that the box type is a model of the `BoxIntersectionBox_d` concept and that the box handle, i.e., the iterators value type, is identical to the box type or a pointer to the box type.

Requirements

- `ForwardIter` must meet the requirements of `ForwardIterator`. We call its value type `Box_handle` in the following.
- `Callback` must be of the `BinaryFunction` concept. The `Box_handle` must be convertible to both argument types. The return type is not used and can be `void`.
- The `Box_handle` must be a model of the `Assignable` concept.
- In addition, if the default box traits is used the `Box_handle` must be a class type `T` or a pointer to a class type `T`, where `T` must be a model of the `BoxIntersectionBox_d` concept. In both cases, the default box traits specializes to a suitable implementation.
- `BoxTraits` must be of the `BoxIntersectionTraits_d` concept.

Implementation

The algorithm is trivially testing all pairs and runs therefore in time \(O(n^2)\) where \( n\) is the size of the input sequence. This algorithm does not use the id-number of the boxes.
