ok, you are correct. There is indeed a limitation.

Let me try to figure out what can be done, and come back to you; stay tuned.

Please look at the " graph_traits_Dual_Arrangement_2.h " file, you will find that the CGAL::Arrangement_2 is used for calculations.

Maybe error is for that?

I was, by the way, able to compile the lines of code you have posted after adding the appropriate include statements.

I looked, the header file was included.

Exactly, compiler give error:

C2079: 'dual' uses undefined class 'CGAL::Dual<Arr_with_hist_2>'

C2440: 'initializing': cannot convert from 'Arr_with_hist_2' to 'int'

in line :

Dual_arrangement  dual(arr);

of my code.
(Notice that the error is not occur at runtime)

What makes you think that the Dual class does not accept Arrangement_with_history_2?

Thank you Efi,

But I don't want to delete CGAL::Dual because I need to construct a dual graph representation of the arrangement, and on the other hand I need to have curve handler that it's possible with use of Arrangement_with_history_2 class.

Apparently the Dual class does not accept Arrangement_with_history_2 as input and according to your answer I can't directly convert Arrangement_with_history_2 to Arrangement_2. I think, I must write my own dual graph class that accept Arrangement_with_history_2 as input.

Morteza.

Hi Morteza,

If you really need to convert Arrangement_with_history_2 to Arrangement_2, then you would need to reconstruct Arrangement_2, but conceptually, everything you can do with Arrangement_2 you can also do with Arrangement_with_history_2.

Is it possible that you simply forgot to include the header that contains the definition of CGAL::Dual, namely, <CGAL/graph_traits_Dual_Arrangement_2.h> ?

Anyway, if you still have a problem, please paste a complete minimal program.

Efi

Hi, I want to use Dual class to construct a dual graph of my arrangement, but I get the compile error :

C2079: 'dual' uses undefined class 'CGAL::Dual<Arr_with_hist_2>'

and I think it's for Arrangement_with_history_2 that I use to define the arrangement in the code. Now I need to convert Arr_with_hist_2 to Arrangement_2 and I don't know how to do this?

my CGAL type definition :

typedef CGAL::Cartesian<CGAL::Exact_rational>                   Kernel;

typedef Kernel::Segment_2                                       Segment_2;

typedef CGAL::Arr_circle_segment_traits_2<Kernel>         Circle_Segment_traits_2;

typedef std::string                                       Curve_Name;

typedef CGAL::Arr_consolidated_curve_data_traits_2

                   <Circle_Segment_traits_2, Curve_Name>  Traits_2;

typedef Traits_2::Curve_2                                 Curve_2;

typedef Traits_2::CoordNT                                 CoordNT;
