A Prototype Object-Oriented Geometry Software Library

将开发一个用户可用C++调用的几何库。该软件包将包括文档记录的C++库、用户手册、样例驱动程序和样例数据集。它将在因特网和软盘上分发，并通过会议和出版物宣布。用C++实现该软件将使计算几何社区和越来越多的科学计算程序员能够访问该软件。该图书馆可以通过减少用户的软件开发时间来促进科学和工程的发展。图书馆足够小，可以快速完工，但也为未来的扩建提供了基础。该项目将包括为几何库确定的四个层次，即几何基元、算法、支持环境和应用程序。支持环境将包括样本驱动程序、样本数据以及与来自明尼苏达大学几何中心的可视化软件Geomview的接口。***

A user-callable geometry library in C++ will be developed. The software package will include documented C++ libraries, a user manual, sample drivers, and sample data sets. It will be distributed on the Internet and diskette and announced through conferences and publications. Implementation in C++ will make the software accessible to the computational geometry community and to an increasing number of programmers in scientific computing. The library can advance science and engineering by reducing software development time for its users. The library is small enough to be completed quickly, yet provide a basis for future expansion. The project will encompass the four layers identified for geometry libraries, namely, geometric primitives, algorithms, support environment, and applications. The support environment will include sample drivers, sample data, and an interface to Geomview, the visualization software from the Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota. ***
