I have been following the geometry debate with interest. It probably doesnt need to be stated that geometry on numeric types is a sophisticated field. Geometry on strongly typed quantities in C++ is I think a relatively unexplored field.
we had a discussion about this few months ago, lenghty thread named "Interest in geometry library". But then it drifted towards some other more "geometrical" things like circles, ellipses, or defining a namespace with name 'euclidean' so that inside will be stored all functions related to euclidean space, and then other namespaces for other spaces. And it all got lost, because it simply grew too big. Therefore currently I would prefer to avoid name 'geometry' because we are in fact talking about just linear algebra (that's what vectors and matrices are). -- Janek Kozicki |
