    1418Boost.Geometry provides a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_programming generic] implementation of geometry algorithms, working with geometry types provided by the library itself as well as user-defined types. The library is implemented in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B C++ programming language] with extensive use of elements of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_metaprogramming template metaprogramming] like class (type) templates, static polymorphism and compile-time execution. Consequently, Boost.Geometry is built upon foundation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_standard_library C++ Standard Library] and [http://www.boost.org/ Boost C++ Libraries].
