Mmh sorry, I misunderstood. Why not wrap DoSomething() in a lambda that does the cast? Although that is predicated on C++11 compiler features, which may be a no-go.

That works well for a for loop, but not for an STL algorithm like for_each like this:

std::for_each(cdt.finite_faces_begin(), cdt.finite_faces_end(), DoSomething())

where DoSomething is a functor. DoSomething gets *fit instead of fit, which is a face. I'd like to call cdt.triangle, but that only accepts Face_handles.

I do this:

    for (Delaunay::Finite_faces_iterator fit = this->finite_faces_begin();

         fit != this->finite_faces_end(); ++fit)

    {

        Delaunay::Face_handle face = fit;

Where Delaunay is just

typedef CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2<Gt, Tds> Delaunay; //specify a delauany triangulation

Cheers

How do I get a Face_handle from a face? If I use a finite_faces_iterator in an STL algorithm, it dereferences the iterator to a face, but I'd like to use Triangle CGAL::Triangulation_2< Traits, Tds >::triangle, which only accepts Face_handles.  

Thanks.
