+ CGAL
+ is a software project that provides easy access to
+ efficient and reliable geometric algorithms in the form of a C++
+ library. CGAL is used in various areas needing geometric
+ computation, such as geographic information systems, computer
+ aided design, molecular biology, medical imaging, computer
+ graphics, and robotics.
+
+ The library offers data structures and algorithms like
+ triangulations, Voronoi diagrams, Boolean operations on polygons
+ and polyhedra, point set processing, arrangements of curves,
+ surface and volume mesh generation, geometry processing, alpha
+ shapes, convex hull algorithms, shape reconstruction, AABB and
+ KD trees.
+
+ The CGAL Wrappers use c++17 features. In order to use CGAL, add
+ -DCGAL_DIR=/path/to/cgal
to the deal.II CMake call,
+ and make sure that DEAL_II_HAVE_CXX17
is enabled.
