Re: [boost] geometry2d: Whats the status of geometry2d in theboostvault?
SFINAE makes it possible, and we have something proprietary along these lines here at work. I'd by happy to elaborate more on specific questions if you are interested to know more.
Yes, sounds interestion. While I'm sure that your concerns are valid about this library in its current state, i've found this library to be good enough. It may not be perfect, but its a better rectangle class than any i've seen. I think that we should get it reviewed by others and try to get it added to the main boost cvs. When an improved geometry class comes along, we could add that one to boost as well. Geometry2d is not a complicated library, as it consists of only one header file, and would be easy enough to just add it to the utility folder.

It might be a worthwhile idea. If you are interested enough to pursue it on your own, you have my support/permission to take over the code. I'd explicitly query the interest/level of acceptance for the idea on this list before doing anything, though. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

Have in mind that the extremely mature "Computational Geometry Algorithms Library"; aka CGAL, has its "Kernel" component released under LGPL. That kernel includes parametric geometric objects and basic generic geometric algorithms. Check it out at www.cgal.org Fernando Cacciola SciSoft
