Hello Everyone 
                    This is my first post in the forum. I am trying to use CGAL in Java to solve Appolonius circle (Venori Diagram). I would be grateful if anyone can point out any tutorial or a jump start help.


Thanks for any help you can provide

In that case, the behavior of your code is strange. You should give us a small
compilable code that shows that behavior, as well as the usual information:
 - OS
 - compiler, and compiler version
 - CGAL version used,
 - boost version used.
See http://www.cgal.org/bug_report.html


I reply below to another point of your first post in the current discussion...

You do not give us enough information! What is "coord"?! I imagine that is a
Kernel::Point_3 for a given kernel. Which kernel did you us? I doubt coord-
>x() is an int! Maybe it is a number type that can be converted to int, but I
am not surprised that printf does strange things with such a type. Do the cast
yourself:
 printf(output, "%d %d %d\t", (int) coord->x(),
                              (int) coord->y(),
                              (int) coord->z());
