The +primary design consideration is ease of use and clarity. It is dual +licensed under LGPL 2.1 and MPL 1.1. + +The library is descended from a set of geometric routines present in +Inkscape, a vector graphics editor based around the Scalable Vector +Graphics format, the most widespread vector graphics interchange for- +mat on the Web and a W3C Recommendation. Due to this legacy, not all +parts of the API form a coherent whole (yet). + +Rendering is outside the scope of this library, and it is assumed +something like libcairo or similar is employed for this. 2geom +concentrates on higher level algorithms and geometric computations. |
