[section:concept_segment Segment Concept]

[heading Description]
[concept Segment..segment]


[heading Concept Definition]

* there must be a specialization of `traits::tag` defining `segment_tag` as type
* there must be a specialization of `traits::point_type` to define the underlying point type 
	(even if it does not consist of points, it should define this type, to indicate the points it can work with)
* there must be a specialization of `traits::indexed_access`, per index and per dimension, with two functions:
	* `get` to get a coordinate value
	* `set` to set a coordinate value (this one is not checked for ConstSegment)
	
[note The segment concept is similar to the box concept, defining using another tag. 
However, the box concept assumes the index as `min_corner`, `max_corner`, while for the segment concept, there is no assumption.]
