CGAL users discussion list

["Catalin Suvei" <>]

Hi,

I am a new user and consider using CGAL to help me with the point location
problem. I am going to use it in a finite element program; I presume that I
could build up the arrangement by adding the lines that make up each element
(a question is if there is a method to add faces directly); then I employ a
point location strategy and use it for a given point. My problem is that I
cannot map the object returned by this query (which can be a vertex, edge or
a face) to my finite element (consisting of nodes and elements). Any
suggestions? Ideally, I should be able to create a CGAL object representing
my finite element, store a pointer in this object to my finite element, then
add it to the arrangement and the point location query would return me the
CGAL object from where I could retrieve my finite element (or line/point
forming the finite element) and do something useful with it. Thanks a lot.
