CGAL is used in various areas needing geometric computation, +such as computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer aided +design and modelling, geographic information systems, molecular +biology, medical imaging, robotics and motion planning, mesh generation +and numerical methods. + +Since version 5.0, GGAL is a header-only library and does not need to +be compiled. This package contains a version greater than 4.x, required +by some packages (for example SFCGAL version 1.4.x). It conflicts with +versions earlier than 5.0, hence CGAL5 is an alternative that cannot +coexist with the package CGAL also available in this repository. + +Packages that depend on CGAL may be incompatible with CGAL5 and vice +versa. Please make sure which package you really need, depending on the +software installed or to be installed on your system. |
