Is there a Julia equivalent to the Octave Geometry or Matlab MatGeom package?

[JacobHuesman]

Hi all,

I’m starting to move my work over from Octave after significant frustration with the slowness of its plotting functionality. Does anyone know if their is a Julia package available similar to the Octave Geometry or Matlab MatGeom package? Specifically, is there a package dedicated to the creation, manipulation, and display of 2D and 3D shapes such as point sets, lines, polygons, etc?

Thanks,

Check out the JuliaGeometry organization, particularly packages like:

• GitHub - JuliaGeometry/GeometryTypes.jl: Geometry types for Julia
• GitHub - JuliaIO/MeshIO.jl: IO for Meshes
• GitHub - JuliaGeometry/Meshing.jl: Meshing and isosurface extraction algorithms

For visualization there are:

• GitHub - JuliaPlots/Makie.jl: High level plotting on the GPU.
• https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl
• https://github.com/rdeits/MeshCat.jl (shameless self-promotion)

Thanks @rdeits, that got me on the right track. For planar geometries I also found:

• https://github.com/JuliaGeo/LibGEOS.jl
