Best Ruby Geometry lib?

[Pito Salas]

I am looking for a basic geometry library with classes like Point, Line,
Rect, etc. And with operations like

Rect.new(Point, Point, Point, Point)

or

Line#angle

or

Line#rotate

or

Line#intersect(line)

and so on. Basic, abstract, dealing with points, lines, and other 2d
constructs. I know it's everyone's favorite oo example but is there a
well worked out, tested library so I don't have to write me another one?

Thanks!

Dear Pito,

I am looking for a basic geometry library with classes like Point, Line,
Rect, etc. And with operations like

not exactly a Ruby library, but quite large and fast (written in C++) is CGAL:

http://www.cgal.org/

It already has Python bindings ...

Maybe you can use it also via ffi ?

Try http://github.com/DanielVartanov/ruby-geometry, or my fork of it, in
which I just added a line class. It doesn't have Rect's yet, but you
could easily add 'em
