- cgal_xor(polygon_data_item1, polygon_data_item2)
cgal_xor(polygon_data_item1, polygon_data_item2) results in a data item with the symmetric difference of the two polygon arguments. The result contains, for each element, the area covered by exactly one of the two polygon arguments (i.e., the union minus the intersection).
The operator is applied element-by-element. Both domains need to match, or one of the arguments needs to be a parameter (void domain).
The cgal_ prefix of the function name indicates that the implementation of the operator uses CGAL, which provides exact predicates and exact constructions for maximum numerical precision.
- attribute polygon_data_item1 with a polygon value type
- attribute polygon_data_item2 with a polygon value type
The value types of both arguments must be compatible (same point type).
- The composition type of both arguments needs to be polygon.
- The domains of the two arguments must match, or one argument must have a void domain (parameter).
