GEOMPACK
Delaunay triangulation

GEOMPACK is a library of PASCAL routines (written for the DELPHI compiler), which can compute the Delaunay triangulation of a set of points in the plane.

Related Data and Programs:

GEOMETRY is a FORTRAN90 library of routines for geometric calculations in 2, 3 and N dimensional space.

GEOMPACK is also available in a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.

GEOMPACK2 is a more extensive FORTRAN90 library, from which GEOMPACK was extracted.

GEOMPACK3 is a FORTRAN90 library for 3D geometric problems.

TRIANGULATION_DISPLAY_OPEN_GL is an executable C++ program which reads files defining a triangulation and displays an image using Open GL.

TRIANGULATION_TRIANGLE_NEIGHBORS is an executable FORTRAN90 program that reads data defining a triangulation, determines the neighboring triangles of each triangle, and writes that information to a file.

Notes Specific to the Delphi Pascal Version:

The Delphi code is a port of the C++ version of GEOMPACK (10 November 2006). Several significant modifications have been made to the code in order to provide a smooth transition to Delphi.

1. Data types
   • Doubles have been converted to Reals.
   • Array variables have been converted to dynamic arrays.
2. Error handling
   • All error handling is done through exceptions. No error codes are returned from any functions.
   • Functions with an error status return value have been converted to procedures.
3. Superseded functions
   • I4_MAX, I4_MIN, R8_MAX, and R8_MIN have been substituted by the built in functions Min() and Max().
   • S_LEN_TRIM has been substituted by Length(Trim()).
4. Required external units
   • Only built in Delphi units are needed to compile GEOMPACK. These are (a) Math, (b) SysUtils, and (c) Windows.
