CGAL users discussion list

[Alessandro Attanasi <>]

Hi all,

I'm going to learn how to plug user defined class into existing CGAL kernels. 

I read all the documentation 

http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Kernel_23/index.html#sectionextensiblekernel

and I copy all the example codes concerning the MyPointC2 class into the manual to run them. At the beginning I was not able to compile because it needs the MySegmentC2.h file that I didn't find into the manual, so I comment out everything about it. 

I'm writing to better understand this procedure, for example how to change the code in order to have coordinates of MyPoint to be generic (using template??), to have more info about MyKernel.h that into the documentation is explicitly said to not explain details, how predefined Kernels as EPIC could be used? 

As last point I don't understand the sentence 

"As we enforce type equality between MyKernel::Point_2 and Point_2<MyKernel>, the constructor with the color as third argument is not available."

because I tried to create with the example code a point having into the consructor the color too, an it works.

Thanks

Alessandro
