A few key modules are used by almost all the others; these have been grouped together in GoTools Core.

  • geometry: Classes and functionality for representing, storing and manipulating parameterized geometrical objects.
  • creators: Functionality for generating curves and surfaces by approximation, blending, etc.
  • tesselator: Functionality for making tesselations of geometry entities.
  • utils: General, low-level functionality.

See the GoTools Core examples.

What is GoTools?

GoTools is the group name of many interdependent C++ software modules developed by the geometry group at SINTEF Digital, Department of Mathematics and Cybernetics. Starting around the year 2000, GoTools software has been developed for a range of different applications in many different projects. Most of the functionality is related to geometry, and in particular spline representations of geometry, see the highlights and overview of functionality. For more detail, see GoTools manual.
