I'm now trying this:

  for (std::size_t i = 0; i < regions.size(); i++)
  {
      Region_growing::Primitive_and_region region = regions[i];
      Line_3* l = new Line_3(Point_3(0, -1, 0), Point_3(0, +1, 0));
      auto intersection = boost::get<Point_3>(&*CGAL::intersection(region.first, *l));

      if (intersection && region.first.has_on(*intersection)) std::cout << "Region has point on it: " << region.first << " at" << *intersection << std::endl;
  }

It returns fewer incidences of intersection, but I'm still not sure if it does what it should.

I've realized the way I did it was not correct because it searched for the intersection of the plane with the line, which always returns a point. But I actually want to check for intersection with the finite region.

However, I've not understood how region_map() would help me in my endeavour. Could you perhaps point me to an example?

Thank you!

region_map()

Provides a property map associating indicating the region index for each
input element. The key of the map depends on your instantiation. But
everything should be documented in the documentation of your model.

Best,

Sebastien.
