Hello,

That would be my fault, I changed the default branch of my repository back to the 'master' branch and not the periodic branch once the reviewing process was over. You have to add the following line:

  git checkout -b Generic_Periodic_Triangulations origin/Generic_Periodic_Triangulations

in between the two following commands:

  git clone  /path/to/cgal
  cd /path/to/cgal/Periodic_3_triangulation_3/examples/Periodic_3_triangulation_3

Since you were on the master branch, the periodic code was missing hence your errors.

Let me know if you have any further issues.

Best,
Mael

Hello,

sorry if it took me so much time to reply.

I have tried to compile the cgal examples in the repository but I have some errors and I can't understand why.

The error is described in the attached file, and it seems to be related to the absence of the library Periodic_2_Delaunay_triangulation_2_generic.h, which is not in my computer even if cgal is installed. I find a similar error for the three-dimensional example.

I can't find the library Periodic_2_Delaunay_triangulation_2_generic.h in CGAL 5.2 or in the cgal repository you linked me.

CGAL has only  Periodic_2_Delaunay_triangulation_2.h. However, if I compile it with this one,  I get a lot of other errors.

Sorry if the mistake might be silly but I am a newbie in cpp and cgal.

Thanks a lot for your help and your time.

Hello,

There is a feature under development that adds support for periodic
triangulations of such domain. You can find a stable (but unfinished)
version here :
https://github.com/MaelRL/cgal/tree/Generic_Periodic_Triangulations
<https://github.com/MaelRL/cgal/tree/Generic_Periodic_Triangulations>.

In this new version of the package, the base domain that is periodically
duplicated is a Voronoi face, described by a lattice basis of vectors; 3
vectors in your 2D case. See the associated paper :
https://drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/volltexte/2020/12941/pdf/LIPIcs-ESA-2020-75.pdf
<https://drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/volltexte/2020/12941/pdf/LIPIcs-ESA-2020-75.pdf>
for more details, explanations on how it works, etc.

The code is developed in the existing package
"Periodic_2_triangulation_2" (and "Periodic_3_triangulation_3" for the
3D version). You should base your code on this example :
https://github.com/MaelRL/cgal/blob/Generic_Periodic_Triangulations/Periodic_2_triangulation_2/examples/Periodic_2_triangulation_2/generic_p2t2.cpp
<https://github.com/MaelRL/cgal/blob/Generic_Periodic_Triangulations/Periodic_2_triangulation_2/examples/Periodic_2_triangulation_2/generic_p2t2.cpp>.

Let me know if you encounter any issue or have any question.

Best,
Mael
