A Polygon 45 Set Concept makes no sense in floating point, but currently does not provide a static assert to prevent it from being used with floating point coordinates. The result of such use is undefined. When the intersection of two 45 degree edges results in a vertex that is off the integer grid that case is handled by inserting a unit length edge between the two 45 degree edges near the off grid intersection point. In the case that data represented contains no 45-degree angles and is Manhattan a runtime check will default to the Manhattan algorithm. The results of which are identical to what the 45-degree algorithm would do, but obtained more efficiently. The motivation for providing the polygon_45_set is to extend the special case of Manhattan geometry capability of the library to encompass the slightly less common, but still important special case of geometry that is described by angles that are multiples of 45-degress with respect to the coordinate axis. This simplifies the implementation of geometry algorithms and affords many opportunities for optimization. 45-degree algorithms can be 50X faster than arbitrary angle algorithms and are required to provide a complete feature set that meets the performance requirements of application domains in which Manhattan and 45-degree geometry are a common special case. Users are recommended to use std::vector and std::list of user defined polygons or library provided polygon_45_set_data<coordinate_type> objects. Lists and vectors of models of polygon_45_concept or polygon_45_with_holes_concept are automatically models of polygon_45_set_concept. An object that is a model of polygon_45_set_concept can be viewed as a model of polygon_90_set_concept if it is determined at runtime to conform to the restriction that all edges are axis-parallel. This concept casting is accomplished through the view_as<>() function. view_as<polygon_90_set_concept>(polygon_set_object) The return value of view_as<>() can be passed into any interface that expects an object of the conceptual type specified in its template parameter. Polygon sets cannot be viewed as single polygons or rectangles since it generally cannot be known whether a polygon set contains only a single polygon without converting to polygons. ## Operators The return type of some operators is the polygon_45_set_view operator template type. This type is itself a model of the polygon 90 set concept, but furthermore can be used as an argument to the polygon_45_set_data constructor and assignment operator. The operator template exists to eliminate temp copies of intermediate results when Boolean operators are chained together. Operators are declared inside the namespace boost::polygon::operators.

# Polygon 45 Set Data Object The polygon 45 set data type encapsulates the internal data format that serves as the input to the sweep-line algorithm that implements polygon-clipping Boolean operations. It also internally keeps track of whether that data has been sorted or scanned and maintains the invariant that when its flags indicate that the data is sorted or scanned the data has not been changed to violate that assumption. Using the Polygon 45 Set Data type directly can be more efficient than using lists and vectors of polygons in the functions above because of the invariants it can enforce which provide the opportunity to maintain the data is sorted form rather than going all the way out to polygons then resorting those vertices for a subsequent operation. The declaration of Polygon 45 Set Data is the following: template <typename T> class polygon_45_set_data; The class is parameterized on the coordinate data type. Algorithms that benefit from knowledge of the invariants enforced by the class are implemented as member functions to provide them access to information about those invariants. ## Member Functions
