Is there any interest in a template geometry library?
a few weeks ago, the authors of the "geometric template library" asked the same question (search for "GTL", http://tinyurl.com/2vftbb ). Since I guess that the supposedly outstanding speed of the GTL is not required by most who signaled interest, I assume that many would happily use your more generic library. FWIW, I'm particularly interested in clipping generic 2D polygons. I have to process GIS data for our landscape visualization research project, so the OGC conventions are already followed in most of our existing code. Generic polygon triangulation would be a plus, but I still don't know whether we'll really need it. Do you have any timeframe for the publication of your library? I have to find one by May 08, so I'd really appreciate if you could upload an initial version to the Boost sandbox in Q1/08. Malte
