It is not possible to present all features of the whole library at a glance.
|
|
However, a few very small examples are shown below.

The pieces above generate this output:

|
It is also possible to use non-Cartesian points. For example: points on a sphere.
|
|
When then an algorithm such as distance is used the library "inspects" that it
|
|
is handling spherical points and calculates the distance over the sphere,
|
|
instead of applying the Pythagorean theorem.
|
|
|
|
Finally an example from a totally different domain: developing window-based applications,
|
|
for example using QtWidgets. We check if two rectangles overlap and if so, move the second
|
|
one to another place:
