The goal of the \cgal\ Open Source Project is to provide easy access to efficient and reliable geometric algorithms in the form of a \CC\ library.
|
|
\cgal\ is used in various areas needing geometric computation, such
|
|
as: computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer aided design
|
|
and modeling, geographic information systems, molecular biology,
|
|
medical imaging, robotics and motion planning, mesh generation,
|
|
numerical methods...
|
|
%
|
|
%The goal of \cgal\ is to make available to users in industry and academia
|
|
%the most important efficient solutions to basic geometric problems
|
|
%developed in the area of computational geometry in a \CC\ software
|
|
%library.

Work on \cgal\ has been supported in the past by {\sc esprit iv}
|
|
projects 21957 (CGAL) and 28155 (GALIA).
