\begin{ccRefClass}{Cartesian<FieldNumberType>}
\ccInclude{CGAL/Cartesian.h}
\ccDefinition
A model for \ccc{Kernel} that uses \ccHtmlNoLinksFrom{Cartesian} coordinates to represent the
geometric objects. In order for \ccRefName\ to model Euclidean geometry
in $E^2$ and/or $E^3$, for some mathematical field $E$ (\textit{e.g.},
the rationals \Q\ or the reals \R), the template parameter FieldNumberType
must model the mathematical field $E$. That is, the field operations on this
number type must copute the mathematically correct results. If the number
type provided as a model for FieldNumberType is only an approximation of a
field (such as the built-in type \ccc{double}), then the geometry provided by
the kernel is only an approximation of Euclidean geometry.
