Questions on constructing graphical objects using relatively complex computations relating to the mathematical structures defining those objects. Examples include convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, Delaunay triangulations, mathematical constructions, symmetries, genuses of curves and graphs and programmatic constructions of polyhedra.
See the general reference on Computational Geometry and Geometric Computation.
Mathematica provides a lot of functionality related to computational geometry. It includes:
- Symbolic geometric regions (since version 10.0).
- Built-in curated information about polyhedra.
- Built-in curated information about knots.
- Built-in curated informatoin about lattices.
- A range of built-in functions for various geometric transformations.

Note
As of Version 10, all the functionality of the ComputationalGeometry package is built into the Wolfram System.
