Overview

The purpose of the CAM geometric entity classes is to provide a C++ programming interface for manipulating and working with two-dimensional geometric entities (circles, polygons, arcs, etc.). The choice of functions associated with these classes was dictated by two requirements:

The programming interface should duplicate the functionality associated with standard two-dimensional drawing packages.
The programming interface should provide functionality that facilitates the development of computational procedures for solving partial differential equations in domains with non-trivial geometric specification.
By programming with base class member functions, one should be able to develop procedures that are independent of particular geometric entity types or implementations.
