Project not maintained

This project will no longer be updated, if you need a Lua library for polygons you can use PolyMan which will be more suitable.

GeoMan

GeoMan is a geometry library written in Lua that allows you to generate shapes, do collision tests, cut concave shapes into convex shapes and get lots of other useful data.

Why did I do this ?

I started this project from that of AlexarJING and I gradually added features until giving this library.

Other mentions

I also included the library polypartition originally written by ivanfratric then rewritten by apicici in MoonScript for his program pathfun-editor.

There is also a Lua rewrite of the simplify-js module to simplify polygons. I published the Lua port alone here.
