Creation

Segment_3<Kernel> s ( Point_3<Kernel> p, Point_3<Kernel> q);
	introduces a segment s with source $$p and target $$q. It is directed from the source towards the target.

Operations

bool	s.operator== ( q)
		Test for equality: Two segments are equal, iff their sources and targets are equal.
bool	s.operator!= ( q)
		Test for inequality.
Point_3<Kernel>	s.source ()	returns the source of s.
Point_3<Kernel>	s.target ()	returns the target of s.
Point_3<Kernel>	s.min ()	returns the point of s with smallest coordinate (lexicographically).
Point_3<Kernel>	s.max ()	returns the point of s with largest coordinate (lexicographically).
Point_3<Kernel>	s.vertex ( int i)	returns source or target of s: vertex(0) returns the source, vertex(1) returns the target. The parameter i is taken modulo 2, which gives easy access to the other vertex.
Point_3<Kernel>	s.point ( int i)	returns vertex(i).
Point_3<Kernel>	s.operator[] ( int i)
		returns vertex(i).
Kernel::FT	s.squared_length ()
		returns the squared length of s.
Vector_3<Kernel>	s.to_vector ()	returns the vector s.target() - s.source().
Direction_3<Kernel>
	s.direction ()	returns the direction from source to target.
Segment_3<Kernel>	s.opposite ()	returns a segment with source and target interchanged.
Line_3<Kernel>	s.supporting_line ()
		returns the line $$l passing through s. Line $$l has the same orientation as segment s, that is from the source to the target of s.
bool	s.is_degenerate ()	segment s is degenerate, if source and target fall together.
bool	s.has_on ( Point_3<Kernel> p)
		A point is on s, iff it is equal to the source or target of s, or if it is in the interior of s.
Bbox_3	s.bbox ()	returns a bounding box containing s.
Segment_3<Kernel>	s.transform ( Aff_transformation_3<Kernel> t)
		returns the segment obtained by applying $$t on the source and the target of s.
