Hi people,

I wrote a small raytracer (with CGAL::Surface_mesh<Point> Mesh) with tree acceleration in cgal. I would like to find all neighbours of a hit primitive.

Ray_intersection hit = tree.first_intersection(rays[y][x]);

if(hit)
{
    const Point& point =  boost::get<Point>(hit->first);
    const Primitive_id& primitive_id = boost::get<Primitive_id>(hit->second);
    //i need the neighbours of the hit primitive
}

How do I this? I found this documentation but it seems to work only for points not primitives:

https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Spatial_searching/index.html

And it searches for its euclidan distance not for being connected together.

Is there something like:

std::vector<Primitive_id&> ids = getNeighoursOfPrimive(primitive_id);


Like I said I am using CGAL::Surface_mesh<Point> Mesh for my mesh and their is only one mesh in the scene.

Kind regards
Rashid
