The goal +is to make the most important of the solutions and methods developed in +computational geometry available to users in industry and academia in a C++ +library. The goal is to provide easy access to useful, reliable geometric +algorithms. + +The CGAL library contains: + + * the Kernel with geometric primitives such as points, vectors, lines, + predicates for testing things such as relative positions of points, and + operations such as intersections and distance calculation. + * the Basic Library which is a collection of standard data structures and + geometric algorithms, such as convex hull in 2D/3D, (Delaunay) + triangulation in 2D/3D, planar map, polyhedron, smallest enclosing + circle, and multidimensional query structures. + * the Support Library which offers interfaces to other packages, e.g., for + visualisation, and I/O, and other support facilities. + +WWW: http://www.cgal.org/ + +- Jean-Yves Lefort +jylefort@FreeBSD.org |
