Hi Gilles, having a self-contained library is indeed *really* important, you get a big +1 from my side.
Anyway, I'd suggest you to adopt a strategy of shading [graph] stuff useful for math, without duplicating the code nor bring the [graph] dependency in [math]. [graph] codebase is ATM in a decent state, what we miss is a little bit of documentation and 2-3 algorithms impl, but in therms of design I think we found a way and additional stuff can be added later in new releases. OTOH, we are still a little far from having arelease in the immediate future, so I cannot promise "we are ready in 1 month" to release :P All the best, -Simo http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 11:55 AM, Gilles Sadowski <gil...@harfang.homelinux.org> wrote: > Hello. > >> after reading the issue MATH-751[1] about computational geometry >> algorithms I realized it could make sense to look at what we already >> did in [graph], especially in terms of data structures.
