If we want boost to have a point class I think it will really have to be a set of point adapters and point concepts that work for existing types. There are too many points out there that we would have to interact with, both outside of boost and also within boost. For instance it would be nice if algorithms worked with both Boost.Point and the CGAL point.
Exactly my point. Well said! I'd add though that adaptation should be non-intrusive, non-invasive. We should be able to use a point type from library A and library B as-is.
Jake Voytko's GSoC SVG graph plotting library comes immediately to mind as a simple, but very useful, example. Paul --- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB +44 1539561830 & SMS, Mobile +44 7714 330204 & SMS pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
