expose CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2<> to python #3

...this would be very useful for enabling incremental point additions and deletions to an existing triangulation. Not too sure how one would go about this but basically need to return the

typedef CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2<Kernel, Tds2> Delaunay2

to python so it can be passed back to cpp to perform incremental point additions, for example.

Having the ability to perform incremental edits to the triangulation is key for the performance of many computational geometry algorithms.

I've recently took a stab at this and so far it works well...

Cool!

I haven't had time to spend on this project but it's on my radar, as I'd like to look into AABB Trees. When I'm back on track, I'll try to include this and periodic boundary in this project.

No worries @glyg Btw I'm putting together a short publication on that SeismicMesh package that uses the parallel mesh generator technology. Its a ~four page Journal of Open Source Science communication.

If you want to help out with reviewing or improving that code, I'd be willing to offer you authorship on the publication. It's just me now and it could benefit from somebody who has experience in scientific python coding like you.
