Debian Science Geometry packages

Based on the C.a.R. (Compass and Ruler) project, CaRMetal includes all of its functionalities - or almost. It propose a different approach from the graphical interface point of view.

• Ruler and compass constructions can be changed by dragging one of the basic construction points. The construction follows immediately. The student can check the correctness of the construction and gain new insight.

• Tracks of points and animated constructions can help to understand geometric relations. Tracks can be used as new objects to explore.

• With the macros of C.a.R. very complicated constructions become possible. Macros are also a way to organize the geometric thinking.

• Hiding construction details and using colors make constructions clearer to read. In C.a.R. lines and circles can also be reduced to the relevant points.

• Arithmetic computations, numerical solutions, curves and functions go beyond classical constructions. It is even possible to construct in 3D using advanced macros.

• Other geometries, hyperbolic or elliptic, can be explored.

• Scripting (javascript based) of figures.

Geometry::Primitive is a device- and library-agnostic system for representing geometric entities such as points, lines, and shapes. It provides some simple objects and many convenience methods you would expect from a simple geometry library.

Math::Geometry::Voronoi computes Voronoi diagrams from a set of input points. This module is a wrapper around a C implementation by Steve Fortune, the inventor of the algorithm used (Fortune's algorithm), that was further modified by Derek Bradley.

Info on Voronoi diagrams can be found here:

Contains absolute-pose, relative-pose, triangulation, and point-cloud alignment methods for the calibrated case. All problems can be solved with central or non-central cameras, and embedded into a random sample consensus or nonlinear optimization context. Matlab and Python interfaces are implemented as well

This package contains the build-time libraries

This package extends the MatGeom functions for Octave, a scientific computing software. It is useful to create, transform, manipulate and display geometric primitives in 2D. It also contains functions for performing boolean operations between two polygons and to manipulate files in SVG and gmsh formats.

This Octave add-on package is part of the Octave-Forge project.

This package contains several different Rubik's cube solvers, either useful directly on the command-line or through sagemath.

Michael Reid's "optimal" uses pre-computed tables to find an optimal solution to the 3x3x3 Rubik's cube.

Dik T.Winter's "dikcube" uses Kociemba's algorithm to iteratively find a short solution to the 3x3x3 cube.

Eric Dietz' "cubex" has fast non-optimal solver for the 3x3x3 cube.

G+Smo (Geometry + Simulation Modules, pronounced "gismo") is a new open-source C++ library that brings together mathematical tools for geometric design and numerical simulation. This package contains inlude headers, cmake configuration files and other development utils.

Salomé is a pre- and post-processor for numerical simulations. It can import CAD files in IGES and STEP formats, facilitates component integration in heterogeneous systems, and has a user-friendly GUI as well as a Python console with all of the platform functionality.

This package contains the Salomé geometry module.
