\subsection*{Design and Implementation History}
|
|
|
|
This higher-dimensional kernel is the result of a long evolving
|
|
development. A first version of the kernel was offered as a LEDA
|
|
extension package ddgeo by Kurt Mehlhorn and Michael Seel. The
|
|
original design was driven by the realization of a d-dimensional
|
|
convex hull data type developed at the
|
|
\ccHtmlNoLinksFrom{Max-Planck Institut f\"ur Informatik}.
|
|
|
|
The code base was discussed and reviewed within the CGAL kernel group
|
|
(of the low-dimensional kernel). This led to the identification of
|
|
the concept interfaces and in parallel to adaptations according to the
|
|
evolution of the low-dimensional kernel. The kernel was revised
|
|
based on suggestions by Herv\'e Br\"onnimann, Michael Hoffmann, and
|
|
Stefan Schirra. It is currently maintained by Michael Seel.
