There is [GeoInterfaceRecipes](https://github.com/JuliaGeo/GeoInterface.jl) which allows to use LibGEOS along with Plots.jl. Is there a similar package for combining LibGEOS with Makie?

I haven’t used it, but came across [GeoInterface.jl/GeoInterfaceMakie at main · JuliaGeo/GeoInterface.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaGeo/GeoInterface.jl/tree/main/GeoInterfaceMakie). It looks like what you are searching for.

That was indeed what @jw3126 was searching for, since he ended up writing it 😉 But good to have that listed here as well. Note that there is also [LibGEOSMakie](https://github.com/jw3126/LibGEOSMakie.jl/blob/main/src/LibGEOSMakie.jl) for extra convenience, which calls `GeoInterfaceMakie.@enable(LibGEOS.AbstractGeometry)`. It’s listed in the [LibGEOS](https://github.com/JuliaGeo/LibGEOS.jl) readme as well.

Just for posterity’s sake, this is now integrated into LibGEOS via a package extension on Makie, so everything should “just work”. If it doesn’t, then it’s a bug!
