Subject: Re: [cgal-discuss] 2d weighted alpha shapes - various radii

Dear Max,

The 2D and 3D alpha shapes are working the same way. You can put a
regular triangulation as template parameter of the alpha shape class,
and get a weighted alpha shape. There, input points are weighted, and
weights can actually be different.

Best regards,
        Monique
