graphical libraries usually are incompatible and sometimes even "unusual" for a reason, performance, when you´re processing lots and lots of points per second, the simple act of calling a non inline function is too much overhead.
I totally agree with you. But, who said that my code was calling non-inline functions ?
Don´t take me wrong I also believe that a "unique" implementation for points would be great, but such implementation is not trivial.
Sorry, I actually don't beleive so. I do not intend to create just one more implementation for points and rectangles, I want to give points and rectangles of *others* the same inteface. Yes, after having specialized some traits class you'll be able to write : geom::point<QPoint> pt; // use QPoint as an implementation geom::box<SDL_Rect> bx; // use SDL Rect as an implementation // Now mix ! bx+=pt; // !! // And still be able to extract the QPoint out of pt; QDrawPoint(pt.impl()); SDL_UpdateRect(&(bx.impl()); // And the SDL_Rect out of bx, at no cost !
I´m not sure about the internals of your implementation,
Then you should check the 'Boost Sandbox File vault' for a file named geom.zip and make your own opinion. Reading through the documentation should give a better idea of the general "spirit" of the library. -- Anis Benyelloul -- Anis Benyelloul benyelloul@mailbolt.com -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
