CGAL users discussion list

​Thanks for the answers.

Maybe it makes sense, but in the basic viewer, I need a specialized function for each possible type of point in CGAL.

Which types I can use for arrangement ?

Best

Without going too deep into the matter, the _expression_

CGAL::Kernel_traits<Arr_circle_segment_traits_2<K>::Point_2>::Kernel

does not make much sense.

Yes, there is a kernel involved, but in general, you do not know how, and in particular, the point type is not Kernel::Point_2.

The same holds for other traits.

In addition, a kernel may have state, so even if you obtain the type, it's not always wise, or even legal, to define a kernel object and use it. It should be up to the user to define and use a kernel.

Actually, the issue is that `Arr_circle_segment_traits_2<K>::Point_2` is a
special class `_One_root_point_2<NT, Filter>` defined in `<CGAL/
Arr_geometry_traits/Circle_segment_2.h>` and not related to any kernel.
