\begin{ccRefClass}{Homogeneous} \ccInclude{CGAL/Homogeneous.h} \ccDefinition A model for a \ccc{Kernel} using homogeneous coordinates to represent the geometric objects. In order for \ccRefName\ to model Euclidean geometry in $E^2$ and/or $E^3$, for some mathematical ring $E$ (\textit{e.g.}, the integers \Z\ or the rationals \Q), the template parameter \ccc{RingNumberType} must model the mathematical ring $E$. That is, the ring operations on this number type must compute the mathematically correct results. If the number type provided as a model for \ccc{RingNumberType} is only an approximation of a ring (such as the built-in type \ccc{double}), then the geometry provided by the kernel is only an approximation of Euclidean geometry. \ccIsModel \ccRefConceptPage{Kernel} \ccTexHtml{\ccSetThreeColumns{typedef Quotient}{}{\hspace*{8.5cm}}}{} \ccTypes \ccTypedef{typedef Quotient FT;}{} \ccGlue \ccTypedef{typedef RingNumberType RT;}{} \ccImplementation This model of a kernel uses reference counting. \ccSeeAlso \ccRefIdfierPage{CGAL::Cartesian} \\ \ccRefIdfierPage{CGAL::Simple_cartesian} \\ \ccRefIdfierPage{CGAL::Simple_homogeneous} \\ \end{ccRefClass}
