GMath is a C++ templated math library mainly for geometry applications like 2D, 3D vector graphics and computergames. It's the ambition to be part of the boost libraries at some point. You can browse the preliminary documentation on these pages. Use the navigation on the right. Project is hosted at sourceforge. CVSROOT=cvs.sf.net:/tmath module name: gmath. The tmath name is historical, we might create a new project af SF at some point called gmath! But anyway the interresting module is named gmath!

I would very much like som help and input on this project. Mostly I would like for some people to help out with the actual task of coding :-). Please contact me at nitram@lutken.dk !

• 2D, 3D, 4D vectors and matrices
• quaternion and special 4x3 matrix that acts as a 4x4
• Geomtry classes for lines, boxes, triangles, spheres etc. in 2D and 3D
• Intersection functions for all the geometry classes
• Good documentation
• Possiblity to implement platform specific versions of the critical functions.
• Perhaps use expression templates to speed up expressions like: va+vb + ma*vd + mb*ve ...

For primitives like eg. a triangle which is defined by 3 points, we want it possible to select between different storage policies so that the points can be stored by value, or by reference or pointers to the actual points. This is both to be able to preserve space avoiding copies of allready existing points and also refering by pointers or reference should make the constructor faster.

Generally all of the classes and API needs review by others than me.

Right now a status saying Beta means that the class is working with at least allmost all functions implemented ... but more functions might be added. Also naming, platform optimizations, expression templates for va+vb + ma*vd + mb*ve ... like expressions are not implemented.

I have no religious opinions about the names chosen other that they should conform as much as possible with existing STD/STL/Boost naming conventions.

Also there is yet not a scheme to make platform independent optimizations, allthough I have given the subject some thoughts. I would be happy to discuss solutions!

The work on the primitives and associated functions for intersections etc. are at a relatively early stage, but 2D triangle, rectangle, box, cirle are more or less working including storage policies. i believe we should concentrate on building the 2D primitives and functions first before moving to 3D. One because it is a bit simpler, two because we want the class and function names to be consistent and three because we might need some of the 2D primitives in the functions operating on 3D primitives.
