\cgal, the {\em Computational Geometry Algorithms Library}, is written in
|
|
\CC\ and consists of three major parts.
|
|
The first part is the kernel, which consists of constant-size non-modifiable
|
|
geometric primitive objects and operations on these objects.
|
|
The objects are parameterized by a representation class, which specifies
|
|
the underlying number types used for calculations.
|
|
The second part is a collection of basic geometric data structures and
|
|
algorithms, which are parameterized by traits classes that define the
|
|
interface between the data structure or algorithm and the primitives they use.
|
|
The third part consists of non-geometric support facilities, such as
|
|
`circulators', random sources, I/O support for debugging and for interfacing
|
|
\cgal\ to various visualization tools.
