expand_edge_selection()

template<class EdgeRange , class HalfedgeGraph , class IsEdgeSelectedPMap , class OutputIterator >

OutputIterator CGAL::expand_edge_selection	(	const EdgeRange &	selection,
		HalfedgeGraph &	fg,
		unsigned int	k,
		IsEdgeSelectedPMap	is_selected,
		OutputIterator	out
	)

#include <CGAL/boost/graph/selection.h>

Augments a selection with edges of fg that are adjacent to an edge in selection.

This process is applied k times considering all edges added in the previous steps. Two edges are said to be adjacent if they are incident to the same face or vertex. Each new edge added in the selection is added exactly once in out.

Template Parameters

EdgeRange	a range of edge descriptors, model of Range. Its iterator type is InputIterator.
FaceGraph	a model of FaceGraph.
IsEdgeSelectedPMap	a model of ReadWritePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<FaceGraph>::edge_descriptor as key type and bool as value type.
OutputIterator	an output iterator accepting edge descriptors.

Parameters

selection	the initial selection of edges that will be expanded.
fg	the graph containing the selected edges.
k	the number of times the expansion procedure is iteratively applied.
is_selected	indicates if an edge is part of the selection. It is updated by the function to accommodate new edges added to the selection.
out	new edges added to the selection are added exactly once in out.

#include <CGAL/boost/graph/selection.h>

Augments a selection with faces of fg that are adjacent to a face in selection.

This process is applied k times considering all faces added in the previous steps. Two faces are said to be adjacent if they share a vertex or an edge. Each new face added in the selection is added exactly once in out.

expand_face_selection_for_removal()

template<class TriangleMesh , class FaceRange , class IsSelectedMap >

void CGAL::expand_face_selection_for_removal	(	const FaceRange &	faces_to_be_deleted,
		TriangleMesh &	tm,
		IsSelectedMap	is_selected
	)

#include <CGAL/boost/graph/selection.h>

Expands a selection of faces so that their removal does not create any non manifold vertex.

For each vertex that is incident to a selected face, we turn around that vertex and check if there is exactly one set of consecutive selected faces. If not, additional faces around that vertex are selected to match this condition.

Template Parameters

TriangleMesh	a model of FaceGraph that is triangulated.
FaceRange	a range of boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor, with an iterator type model of ForwardIterator.
IsSelectedMap	a model of ReadWritePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor as key and bool as value.

Parameters

tm	the triangle mesh.
faces_to_be_deleted	the range of selected faces.
is_selected	a property map containing the selected-or-not status of each face of tm. It must associate true to each face of faces_to_be_deleted and false to any other face of tm. It will be modified if the face selection must be expanded.

	)

#include <CGAL/boost/graph/selection.h>

Augments a selection with vertices of fg that are adjacent to a vertex in selection.

regularize_face_selection_borders()

template<typename TriangleMesh , typename IsSelectedMap , typename NamedParameters >

void CGAL::regularize_face_selection_borders	(	TriangleMesh &	mesh,
		IsSelectedMap	is_selected,
		double	weight,
		const NamedParameters &	np
	)

#include <CGAL/boost/graph/selection.h>

regularizes a selection in order to minimize the length of the border of the selection.

The alpha expansion algorithm is used (see CGAL::alpha_expansion_graphcut()) using the length of the edge between two faces as the edge cost and the initial selected/unselected property of a face as the face cost.

If prevent_unselection is set to true, the cost of unselecting a face is set to infinity, which forces the regularization to only select new faces and ensures that the regularization keeps all selected faces.

Template Parameters

TriangleMesh	a model of FaceGraph
IsSelectedMap	a model of ReadWritePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor as key type and bool as value type
NamedParameters	a sequence of named parameters

Parameters

mesh	the mesh containing the selected faces.
is_selected	indicates if a face is part of the selection. It is updated by the function to accommodate faces added or removed from the selection.
weight	sets the tradeoff between data fidelity and regularity, ranging from 0 (no regularization at all, selection is left unaltered) to 1 (maximum regularization, usually selects or unselects everything so that the length of the border of the selection is 0)
np	optional sequence of named parameters among the ones listed below

Named Parameters

face_index_map	the property map with the indices associated to the faces of mesh
vertex_point_map	the property map with the points associated to the vertices of mesh
prevent_unselection	if true only new faces can be selected, if false (default) some faces can be unselected
geom_traits	an instance of a geometric traits class, model of Kernel

Examples:
