Triangulate over a manifold using CGAL

In my problem I want to triangulate (using CGAL dD Triangulation package) points on R^3 x S, where S is a mono-dimensional compact manifold. But in the documentation that I've read the triangulation that CGAL performs is only on a n-dimensional Euclidean space.

At this point i need some help, since I'm not a big CGAL expert and I don't know even if this thing is possible or not (and if it's possible how to do it).

Thank in advance!

  • (I am a CGAL developer, but I do not know well the dD triangulation package.)

    I think that you cannot do a computation over R^3 x S using CGAL. If S is a embedable in R, I suggest you do the computation in R^4.
