template<typename Kernel>

Kernel::FT CGAL::approximate_dihedral_angle	(	const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > &	p,
		const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > &	q,
		const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > &	r,
		const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > &	s )

#include <CGAL/Kernel/global_functions.h>

returns an approximation of the signed dihedral angle in the tetrahedron pqrs of edge pq.

The sign is negative if orientation(p,q,r,s) is CGAL::NEGATIVE and positive otherwise. The angle is given in degrees.

Precondition

p,q,r and p,q,s are not collinear.
