Version 1 of Geometry

Arjen Markus This page will describe the geometry package Christian Heide Damm started and that we are now developing in cooperation.

The idea is simple - define points, vectors, planes, lines, line segments and so on via "qualified" lists. Define operations on these lists like, calculate the distance between points, project a line on a plane.

Such a package is useful for applications involving interactive design/drawing, "CAD"-like applications, ...

The page should describe:

  • What objects do we want?
  • Representation of these objects as lists
  • Operations on these objects

AK: Conversions of such objects into other formats ? POVRay for example ? Is the stuff 2D or 3D ?
