This software implements fast and guaranteed floating point geometric predicates, including novel indirect predicates as described in the following article:
M. Attene. Indirect Predicates for Geometric Constructions. In Elsevier Computer-Aided Design (2020, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cad.2020.102856).
You are free to use this software according to the licensing terms specified at the end of this document. If you use it for research purposes and produce publications, please cite the following paper that describes the underlying theory:
M. Attene. Indirect Predicates for Geometric Constructions. In Elsevier Computer-Aided Design (2020, to appear).
The software has been tested on 64 bit PCs running:
- Microsoft Windows OS with MSVC
- Linux with standard gcc/g++ development environment
- Mac OSX. Unfortunately CLANG does not support direct access to the floating point environment. The only way to use this software with CLANG is to disable all optimizations (-O0).
