Raster Geometry

Raster Geometry - Create/manipulate N-dim raster geometric shapes.

Overview

This software provides a library for generating or otherwise manipulating N-dimensional raster geometric shapes.

Most of the code is used is used in a number of projects where it is tested against real-life scenarios.

As a result of the code maturity, some of the library components may undergo (eventually heavy) refactoring. While this is not expected, this will be documented. Please file a bug report if you detect an undocumented refactoring.

Releases information are available through NEWS.rst.

For a more comprehensive list of changes see CHANGELOG.rst (automatically generated from the version control system).

Features

The 2D geometrical shapes currently available are:

• square
• rectangle
• rhombus
• circle
• ellipse

The 3D geometrical shapes currently available are:

• cube
• cuboid
• rhomboid
• sphere
• ellipsoid
• cylinder

The N-dim geometrical shapes currently available are:

• cuboid: sum[abs(x_n/a_n)^inf] < 1
• superellipsoid: sum[abs(x_n/a_n)^k] < 1
• prism: stack (N-1)-D rendered objects on given axis

etc.

Additional may be added in the future.
