    <p>My application is to represent shapes on the Earth's (using a sphere is sufficient) surface. Those can be points, lines, and polygons. Coordinates should be defined by using degrees or radians (just like geographic coordinates). </p> <p>A line segment between two points on the surface of sphere should lie on its <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_circle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">great circle</a>. Polygons should consist of a collection of the such lines. Furthermore, I would like to perform <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28mathematics%29#Basic_operations" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Set - Basic Operations</a> like intersection, union, difference, complement on the shapes mentioned. These operations only need to output collections of points.</p> <p>I tried to figure that out using CGAL's <a href="http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Circular_kernel_3/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">3D Spherical Geometry Kernel</a> and <a href="http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Nef_S2/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">2D Boolean Operations on Nef Polygons Embedded on the Sphere</a>. Actually, I already had problems with putting a line on the sphere. Additionally CGAL works in the Euclidean Space, which still leaves me with the geometric operations necessary, to work with great circles placed on the sphere.</p> <p>My question is, if you can assist me in realizing the functionality mentioned in CGAL or if you can recommend another library for C/C++ that does that. Thank you very much!</p>

    1. COThe "2D Boolean Operations on Nef Polygons Embedded on the Sphere" looks like it does what you need. Is there something specific you need help with?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
