geomutil(3gv)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to geomutil(3gv) — it's the intro page for a whole lil library of miscellaneous geometry utilities ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the geomutil library is basically a grab bag 🎀 of assorted geometric utility functions, and here's the whole squad:

• AnyToPL() — converts any geom into a polylist 💅
• PLCombine() — smooshes two polylists together into one, like a friendship bracelet but geometry
• PLConsol() — consolidates the vertices in a polylist 🧚
• Bdy() — generates the boundary (the edge) of a geom 👑

each one of these has its own separate manual page that gives you the full usage deets, so go read those when you need the specifics, iykyk 💜

🌸 linking it up (the important part) 🌸

to link your program against the geomutil library you specify -lgeomutil and then follow it with the usual list of OOGL libraries, like this:

cc -L${LIBDIR} prog.c -lgeomutil \
  -lstubdraw -lgeom -lvect -lpolylist -lquad \
  -lmesh -lbezier -linst -ltlist -llist -lstub \
  -lgeom -loogl -lbbox -lshade -lcolor -l3d -lm

like yes it's a lot of libraries, it's giving main character energy with that whole entourage, but that's the vibe fr fr 🌈
