v16 v17 26 26 In general, GGL is dedicated to programmers who need to write programs that involve computations of a geometric nature. We hope to provide Generic Geometry Library interesting to developers of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system geographic information systems], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomatics geomatics] and any solutions of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial spatial] nature, and even to game developers. 27 27 28 == What is a concept? == 29 30 == Why MultiPoint, MultiLine and MultiPolygon live in separated module? == 31 32 Multiple geometry types are collection geometry classes introduced in [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/ OpenGIS Simple Features] architecture and as such they are specific to geospatial applications. Because [wiki:FAQ#WhatisGGL GGL aims to be general purpose geometry library], it's been decided to maintain multiple geometry types in separate module. So, developers who are not interested in those elements of GGL can leave them out automatically. 33 34 28 35 == How is GGL different to CGAL, GEOS, ... ? == 29 36 30 37 ''TBD'' 31 38 32 == Why multi-geometries live in separated module? ==33 34 ''TBD''35
