\cgalPkgDesc{Visualizing vector fields is important for many application domains. A good way to do it is to generate streamlines that describe the flow behavior. This package implements the "Farthest Point Seeding" algorithm for placing streamlines in 2D vector fields. It generates a list of streamlines corresponding to an input flow using a specified separating distance. The algorithm uses a Delaunay triangulation to model objects and address different queries, and relies on choosing the centers of the biggest empty circles to start the integration of the streamlines.}

\cgalPkgDescriptionEnd

Vector and direction fields are commonly used for modeling physical
phenomena, where a direction and magnitude, namely a vector is assigned to
each point inside a domain.

A streamline is a curve everywhere tangent to the field. It can be
considered as the path traced by an imaginary massless particle
dropped into a steady fluid flow described by the field.

A streamline is represented as a polyline iteratively elongated by
bidirectional numerical integration started from a seed point, until
it comes close to another streamline, hits the domain boundary, or
reaches a critical point.

The `CGAL::Stream_lines_2` class consists of saturating the domain with
a set of tangential streamlines in accordance with a specified
density.

Streamlines are represented as containers of points, manipulated by an
iterator range of points, and the whole placement is accessible via an
iterator range of streamlines.

The main class in this package, the class `CGAL::Stream_lines_2`, depends on two template
parameters.  The first template parameter stands for a class which
represents both the vector field and the visualization domain with
operations on them, and should be instantiated by a model of the concept
`VectorField_2`.  The second template parameter stands for a
function object that ensures the numerical integration used to
construct the streamlines, and should be instantiated by a model of the concept
`Integrator_2`.
