    2626In 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.

    3234Multiple 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.
