Hi Pratyush,

You can also use a std::map to store extra data, since Vertex_handle is hashable. So something like

std::map<Polyhedron::Vertex_handle, double> my_values;

my_values[vertex_handle_i] = double_value;

could be the easiest solution, without having to play about with changing the template parameters.

Cheers,

Paddy

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for pointing out the relevant material.

Now, I try to write a basic code (a modification of one of the examples to have colour on the faces of the tetrahedron from the CGAL documentation), to be able to have some of my own items on the vertices, and also have access to point() on the vertex (this is what is giving me problems). Could you please help me with where I am going wrong? Below is the code.

#include <CGAL/Simple_cartesian.h>
#include <CGAL/Polyhedron_3.h>
// A face type with a color member variable.

typedef CGAL::Simple_cartesian<double>        Kernel;


template <class Refs, class Traits>
struct My_vertex : public CGAL::HalfedgeDS_vertex_base<Refs> {
        typedef typename Traits::Point_3 Point;
    double value;
        long index;
};
// An items type using my face.
struct My_items : public CGAL::Polyhedron_items_3 {
    template <class Refs, class Traits>
    struct Vertex_wrapper {
        typedef My_vertex<Refs,Traits> Vertex;
    };
};


typedef Kernel::Point_3 Point_3;
typedef CGAL::Polyhedron_3<Kernel,My_items>  Polyhedron;
typedef Polyhedron::Halfedge_handle           Halfedge_handle;
typedef Polyhedron::Vertex_handle           Vertex_handle;
int main() {
    Point_3 p( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    Point_3 q( 1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    Point_3 r( 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
    Point_3 s( 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    Polyhedron P;
    P.make_tetrahedron(p,q,r,s);
        Vertex_handle v = P.vertices_begin();
        //v->value = 3.14;
        v->index = 1;
        std::cerr<<v->point()<<" "<<v->index<<std::endl;
    return 0;

}
