geometry3Sharp

Open-Source (Boost-license) C# library for geometric computing.

geometry3Sharp is compatible with Unity. Set the G3_USING_UNITY Scripting Define and you will have transparent interop between g3 and Unity vector types (see details at the very bottom of this README). Although the library is written for C# 4.5, if you are using the .NET 3.5 Unity runtime, it will still work, just with a few missing features.

Currently there is a small amount of unsafe code, however this code is only used in a few fast-buffer-copy routines, which can be deleted if you need a safe version (eg for Unity web player).

A Nuget Package is available. This package is updated roughly monthly from the github master branch. So, it's "more" stable. Currently this package includes .NET 4.5 and .NET Standard 2.0 dlls. If you would like others, please email and they can be added.

Projects using g3Sharp

Credits

Many, many data structures and algorithms have been ported from the WildMagic5 and GTEngine C++ libraries, which are developed by David Eberly at Geometric Tools. WildMagic5 and GTEngine are distributed under the Boost license as well, available here. Any errors in code marked as ported from WildMagic5/GTEngine are most certainly ours!

The MeshSignedDistanceGrid class was implemented based on the C++ SDFGen code written by Christopher Batty and Robert Bridson.

Tutorials

Several tutorials for using g3Sharp have been posted on the Gradientspace blog:

Main Classes

Core

  • DVector: indexed list with vector-style interface, but internally stored as separate blocks of memory
    • appending is amortized O(1), never a full buffer copy like normal list
  • RefCountVector: track index reference counts, maintain list of free indices
  • VectorArray2/VectorArray3: wrapper around regular array providing N-element access
    • eg operator[] gets/sets Vector3d for VectorArray3d, internally is double[3*count]

  • IndexPriorityQueue: min-heap priority queue for dense situations (ie small or large number of items in queue)
  • DijkstraGraphDistance: compute shortest-path distances between nodes in graph, from seed points. Graph is defined externally by iterators and Func's, so this class can easily be applied to many situations.

Unity Interop

geometry3Sharp supports transparent conversion with Unity types. To enable this, define G3_USING_UNITY in your Unity project, by adding this string to the Scripting Define Symbols box in the Player Settings.

Once enabled, code like this will work transparently:

Vector3 unityVec;
Vector3f g3Vec;
unityVec = g3vec;
g3vec = unityVec;

float->double types will work transparently, while double->float will require an explicit cast:

Vector3d g3vecd;
g3vecd = gameObject.transform.position;
gameObject.transform.position = (Vector3)g3vecd;

This will work for Vector2, Vector3, Quaterion, Ray, Color, and Bounds (w/ AxisAlignedBox3f) Note that these conversions will not work for equations, so to add a Vector3f and a Vector3, you will need to explicitly cast one to the other.
