Boost.Geometry

Friday, December 18th, 2009

As the Generic Geometry Library has been accepted into Boost, the library is renamed to Boost.Geometry.

More and more projects seems to notice it. It is e.g. used in the Openstreetmap mapping program Merkaartor and the interest is definitly increasing now it is part of the most widely used C++ library. A bright future awaits Boost.Geometry in the opensource software landscape.

The Generic Geometry Library provides a generic implementation of geometry algorithms. It has been developed by Barend Gehrels (Geodan) and Bruno Lalande.

GGL is used among others by Geodan Mapper. A very easy to use application to visualise geographically related information.
