Hello everybody,

A a user of CGAL, I wish to bring up a point(_3) which I think is important
to users of geometric software to which they don't want or need to change to
code itself.

I find it bothersome that I can't have more control over the process of the
geometric algorithms. For instance, if I want to compute the straight
skeleton, and in which to apply some function in every event (like matching
between the vertices participating or something), I cannot do this online,
and have to settle for post-processing, or some sophisticated workaround
which might be available, but I don't know about..

Is there a way (or a possibility) to establish a way in CGAL to allow users
to pass functions as arguments to the algorithm, which it will apply in
specified occasions? (another example, the finding of an intersection in a
symmetric difference, so I wouldn't have as an output the same vertex in two
different polygon, and have to post-establish that this is the same vertex).

I think this functionality is very important, and I would like to hear you
opinions about it.

Thanks,
Amir Vaxman (CGGC Technion)
