Errata to "Computational Geometry in C" Second Edition (1998) First Printing (no mention of reprintings on ISBN page) [for Second Printing or later, see instead errata.2] Last update: 21 August 2000 Notation: -------- P = page; L = line number; n = footnote S = Section; F = Figure; T = Table; A = Algorithm; E = Exercise; C = Code ^ = indicates changes in line above [comments in brackets] Substantive: ------------ P311, C8.5: Add before the final '}' of function Convolve: ----------------------------------------------------------- /* Finally, complete circuit on secondary/robot polygon. */ while (i != 0) { if ( !P[i].primary ) { AddVec( p, P[i].v, p ); LineTo_i( p ); } i = (i+1)%m; } ----------------------------------------------------------- [Updated in code distribution. (Thanks to Steve Oudot.)] Nonsubstantive: -------------- Pxiii: Add these people to the Acknowledgements: Brad Barber Jeff Glickman Thom Goodsell Steve Oudot Don Power Christian Schmidt Vadim Shapiro Dan Sunday Lang Withers P41, T1.1: i=11 (2nd col, 3rd row), change "10" ==> "18": 11 (7,18) ^ P63, L-8 (last sentence of item 4): "Exercise 3.2.3[2]" should be "Exercise 3.9.3[2]" ^ ^ P67, L6 of S3.2.2: "not left of it or on it." ==> "not left of or on its containing line." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ P67, A3.2: Add parentheses to penultimate line: if pk is not (left or on) (pi,pj) ^ ^ P106, T4.2, L3-4: The Schla:fli symbols in the {p,v} column for the last two rows should be interchanged to: Dodecahedron {5,3} Icosahedron {3,5} [(Thanks to Thom Goodsell and Dan Sunday.)] P151, L2-3: Take a zero-dimensional cube (a point) and ... ^^^^ producing a one-dimensional cube (a segment). ^^^ [I.e., change "one-" and "two-" to "zero-" and "one-" respectively. (Thanks to Thom Goodsell)] P190, L1: "multications" should be "multiplications" P195, last sentence of 2nd para. of proof, change + to - as follows: ...yields F = 1 + n^2 - n(n - 1)/2 = ... [(Thanks to Christian Schmidt.)] P236, C7.9, second clause of third if-statement should be: ( area0 < 0 ) && ( area1 < 0 ) && ( area2 < 0 )) ^ [I.e, change 1 to 0. This typo is not in the distributed code, only in the text. (Thanks to Jeff Glickman.)] P276, L-1; P277, L5, L7, L25; P278, A7.5: "Algorithm 7.10.1" should be "Algorithm 7.4" ^^ ^ P305, T8.4.2: For the R=convex and P=nonconvex line of the table, "O(n^2 logn)" should be "O(n logn)".
