Detailed Description

This module provides IMP wrappers for various algorithms implemented in CGAL.

The module should not be used directly by users. Instead IMP.algebra and IMP.core functionality will be improved when CGAL is available. The main purpose of this module is to allow certain CGAL code to be built with different build flags than the rest of IMP. Specifically, CGAL needs IEEE floating point specs to be followed exactly.

Function Documentation

std::string IMP::cgal::get_data_path ( std::string file_name )

Return the path to installed data for this module.

Each module has its own data directory, so be sure to use the version of this function in the correct module. To read the data file "data_library" that was placed in the data directory of module "mymodule", do something like

    std::ifstream in(IMP::mymodule::get_data_path("data_library"));

This will ensure that the code works when IMP is installed or used via the tools/imppy.sh script.

std::string IMP::cgal::get_example_path ( std::string file_name )

Return the path to installed example data for this module.

Each module has its own example directory, so be sure to use the version of this function in the correct module. For example to read the file example_protein.pdb located in the examples directory of the IMP::atom module, do

    IMP::atom::read_pdb(IMP::atom::get_example_path("example_protein.pdb", model));
