Return to the 'geometry' package
Summary of important user-visible changes for releases of the geometry package
===============================================================================
geometry-4.0.0 Release Date: 03-02-2020 Release Manager: Juan Pablo Carbajal
===============================================================================
As of this version, geometry does not contain any matgeom functionality.
It contains all the extra functions that we have been adding to geometry,
in particular matlab compatible functionality for the mapping package.
It might need that you do not need geometry anymore and instead you need to
install matgeom to get the functionality you were using.
Geometry was an attempt to port MatGeom (a geometry package developed
for Matlab) to Octave, improving docstrings and updating to octave's special
features when possible.
Over time it became almost impossible to keep geometry in sync with the
upstream developments of MatGeom.
Hence I have decided to separate matgeom from geometry.
My apologize for the troubles caused, this is the way I learn, by doing.
Moreover, the @svg class is not working anymore. I leave it in the package
but it should be considered broken. Will fix in future versions.
** Functions have been modified
clipPolygon:
- Accepts boolean operation as strings or as integer.
- Accepts a box [xmin xmax ymin ymax] as clipping polygon.
** Added Functions
drawFilledPolygon
===============================================================================
geometry-3.0.0 Release Date: 27-03-2017 Release Manager: Juan Pablo Carbajal
===============================================================================
This version of the package is not backward compatible for the following
reasons:
** Functions have changed their name
beltproblem --> beltProblem
closed_path --> closedPath
shapearea --> shapeArea
shapecentroid --> shapeCentroid
shapeplot --> plotShape
shapetransform --> transformShape
simplifypolygon --> simplifyPoligon
simplifyPolyline --> simplifyPolyline
** Functions that are in GNU Octave core since 4.0.1

** Improved Functions
drawPolygon is more efficent when drawing polygons in cells and now it takes
an axis handle as first argument (optional). Added demo and tests
intersectEdges accepts tolerance as third argument
polygon2patch demo fixed, missing third argument for patch.
===============================================================================
geometry-2.1.1 Release Date: 2016-03-24 Release Manager: Juan Pablo Carbajal
===============================================================================
** Added Functions
fillPolygon rectAsPolygon
** Improved Functions
drawShape was not working due to missing functions. they have all been added
now.
==============================================================================
geometry-2.1.0 Release Date: 2016-02-04 Release Manager: Juan Pablo Carbajal
===============================================================================
** Added Functions
projPointOnPolyline: the function is added for compatibility, but it is just
a wrapper of distancePointPolyline.
findClosestPoint
** Improved Functions
distancePointPolyline is now updated with a spee dup of 100x. It also calculates
the projections, so projPointOnPolyline is obsolete.
===============================================================================
geometry-2.0.0 Release Date: 2015-04-27 Release Manager: Juan Pablo Carbajal
===============================================================================
** Geometry 2.0.0 is not compatible with versions of octave older
than 4.0. Thi si due to inputParser being used in the functions
curve2polyline, cov2ellipse and simplifypolyline. If you do not
need this functions you should no problems using octave > 3.6.0
** Removed functions
oc_polybol is not part of geomtry anymore. This function is part of
the octclip package.
** Added Functions
planePoint
** Bug Fixes:
- polynomialCurveSetFit had debug entries, now removed.
** Other changes:
- closed_path demo code was improved.
===============================================================================

===============================================================================
geometry-1.5.0 Release Date: 2012-06-05 Release Manager: Juan Pablo Carbajal
===============================================================================
* Added functions:
- cov2ellipse & ellipse2cov: transform between ellipses and covariances matrices.
- beltproblem : Finds the four lines tangent to two circles with given centers and
radii. This is the solution to the belt problem in 2D.
- curveval : Evaluates a polynomial curve defined as a 2-by-N matrix.
- curve2polyline : Converts a polynomial curve into a polyline by the adaptive
sampling method.
- simplifypolyline : Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm to simplify polylines.
- parametrize : Estimate a parametrization of a polygon/line based on the distance
between the points.
- curvature : Estimation of the curvature of a polygon/line based on polynomial
approximation.
- reversePolygon and reversePolyline : reverse the orders of the points in
of polygon/line.
- supportFunction : Compute support function of a polygon.
- distancePointPolygon , distancePointPolyline , distancePolygons ,
expandPolygon , medialAxisConvex , polygonLoops , polygonSelfIntersections
polylineSelfIntersections , splitPolygons
- close_path : given a set of points in the plane calculate a piecewise linear
simple path that passes through all points.
* Changed functions:
- distancePointEdge : Now the function computes the distance between all points
and all edges. A third optional argument provides
backward compatibility.
* Solved bugs:
- simplifypolygon returned empty polygons when points are repeated, i.e when
the polygon is not correctly formed.
- Removed installation warnings.
