[section References]

The following section lists references and relations between __boost_geometry__ and other
|
|
software libraries as well as various specifications and documents discussing subjects directly
|
|
related to the matter of the library implementation.
|
|
|
|
[section:std C++ Standard Library]
|
|
|
|
The __boost_geometry__ makes substantial use of the __wiki_std__ and is designed to be
|
|
compatible with it. Quick list of uses of the `std` namespace elements:
|
|
|
|
* provided geometries (linestring, ring, polygon, multi-s) make default use of `std::vector`,
|
|
but that is configurable.
|
|
* std sorting, unique copies, maps can make use of provided functors in compare.
|
|
* internally, there are vector's, deque's, there is sorting, many things are implemented
|
|
using the std library
|

[section Boost C++ Libraries]
|
|
|
|
The __boost_geometry__ makes use of the following __boost_cpp_lib__:
|
|
|
|
* __boost_range__
|
|
* __boost_traits__ (e.g. remove_const)
|
|
* __boost_concept__
|
|
* __boost_numericconv__ (cast, bounds)
|
|
* __boost_mpl__
|
|
* __boost_staticassert__
|
|
* __boost_iterator__
|
|
* __boost_smart_ptr__ (shared_ptr, in the extensions spatial index and projections)
|
|
* __boost_ublas__
|
|
* Adapted geometries:
|
|
* __boost_array__
|
|
* __boost_tuple__
|
|
* IO and parsing
|
|
* __boost_tokenizer__
|
|
* __boost_conversion__ (lexical cast)
|
|
* __boost_stringalgo__
|
|
* Testing
|
|
* __boost_test__
|
|
* __boost_timer__
|
|
* Examples
|
|
* __boost_graph__
|
|
|
|
Many of these are used a lot inside the library.
|
|
|
|
The __boost_range__ library is used everywhere to declare iterators and to walk through standard
|
|
containers or custom ranges.
|
|
|
|
The __boost_concept__ is used to check concepts, for geometries as well as for strategies.
|
|
|
|
Tranformations are implemented using __boost_ublas__
|
|
|
|
The __boost_mpl__ is used for a.o. reverse dispatching
|
|
|
|
Finally, the library can perfectly be used together with the __boost_graph__, as shown in example 7.

[section:other Other Libraries]
|
|
|
|
__boost_geometry__ is designed to support use of arbitrary-precision arithmetic data types
|
|
and algorithms provided by third-party libraries like __gmp__ and __cln__.
