Hi,

thanks a lot for this workaround. Due to my data structure I have to
subclass Point_2 anyway, thus I put the workaround in my subclass to
provide the setX() function:

class My_point : public CGAL::Point_2< CGAL::Cartesian<double> >
{
// constructor
My_point(int x, int y)
: CGAL::Point_2< CGAL::Cartesian<double> >(x,y)
{
}


void setX( const int& x)
{
     *this = My_point(x, this->y());
     // Note: All data stored in the subclass My_point will be lost
     // except used in the constructor
}
};

It's indeed not very nice, but it works fine.

Greetings,
Michael
