CGAL 5.6 - Manual Documentation

The Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL) is a software project that
provides easy access to efficient and reliable geometric algorithms in the form
of a C++ library.


PACKAGE OVERVIEW

CGAL offers data structures and algorithms like triangulations, Voronoi
diagrams, Polygons, Cell Complexes and Polyhedra, arrangements of curves, mesh
generation, geometry processing, convex hull algorithms, to name just a few.

All these data structures and algorithms operate on geometric objects like
points and segments, and perform geometric tests on them. These objects and
predicates are regrouped in CGAL Kernels.

Finally, the Support Library offers geometric object generators and spatial
sorting functions, as well as a matrix search framework and a solver for linear
and quadratic programs. It further offers interfaces to third party software
such as the GUI libraries Qt, and the Boost Graph Library.

The complete list of packages is available on the page Package Overview.
