template<typename Kernel >

Kernel::FT CGAL::approximate_dihedral_angle | ( | const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > & | p,
|  | const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > & | q,
|  | const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > & | r,
|  | const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > & | s
| ) |  |

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

returns an approximation of the signed dihedral angle in the tetrahedron `pqrs` of edge `pq`.

The sign is negative if `orientation(p,q,r,s)` is `CGAL::NEGATIVE` and positive otherwise. The angle is given in degrees.

Precondition
  `p,q,r` and `p,q,s` are not collinear.
