The Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL) provides
|
|
efficient and reliable geometric algorithms in the form of a C++
|
|
library. CGAL is used in various areas needing geometric computation,
|
|
such as computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer aided
|
|
design and modelling, geographic information systems, molecular
|
|
biology, medical imaging, robotics and motion planning, mesh generation
|
|
and numerical methods.
|
|
|
|
Since version 5.0, GGAL is a header-only library and does not need to
|
|
be compiled. This package contains a version greater than 4.x, required
|
|
by some packages (for example SFCGAL version 1.4.x). It conflicts with
|
|
versions earlier than 5.0, hence CGAL5 is an alternative that cannot
|
|
coexist with the package CGAL also available in this repository.
|
|
|
|
Packages that depend on CGAL may be incompatible with CGAL5 and vice
|
|
versa. Please make sure which package you really need, depending on the
|
|
software installed or to be installed on your system.
