Discuss Boost.Geometry (Generic Geometry Library) - https://github.com/boostorg/geometry
@tinko92 Boost.Geometry is an intimidating piece of software (it is to me!) and it does not stop you to keep ploughing. I want to say, you're an exceptional contributor.
Hi there, I am developer of the project preCICE.
We are currently writing our next major reference paper and would like to cite our dependencies to give them the credit they deserve. This paper will be the goto citation for quite some time.
We use boost.geometry especially for the spacial index trees.
How should we cite your project?

Misunderstandings with regard to the meaning of spatial predicates seem to be a recurring thing (just today there was one on the mailing list again). @awulkiew Do you think it may be beneficial to have the DE-9IM masks and little illustrations of valid and invalid spatial relationships in the documentation? After GSoC I would have time to generate some images that could illustrate the spatial relationships.
I see. Then I will try to make a PR later in the year after GSoC. I believe with the great SVG-Mapper generating the graphics should be easy, but it's probably worth it to give some thought to making particularly instructive illustrations (it would probably be good to have examples for which the predicates return true and some for which they do not return true).

Also, note that there is a label called "good first issue" which you can filter for on the Boost.Geometry issue list: https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/labels/good-first-issue
I also found the Boost.Geometry Contribution tutorial helpful for a specific guide for contributing a piece of code: https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/wiki/Contribution-Tutorial
i was looking forward to contribute in Boost for GSOC if anyone can give contact to help me get started it will be bliss for me
Just dive in, start reading the code, start using/running it, and you will see yourself
If you want to start contributing, @tinko92 's suggestion to look for the good first issues is an excellent one
Regarding Boost for GSoC, you're welcome to submit a project for GSoC 2021
Just remember to start discussing it as early as possible, e.g. near December

Meanwhile, getting started with Boost Geometry is a great ideae

Our documentation consistently needs improvement. Boost is more or less infamous for bad docs. So if you have some free time and want to add something I'd gladly review it.
b2 is executable program of Boost.Build, a build system that use used by libraries of the Boost C++ Libraries collection
I highly recommend trying to web search and GitHub search
Thanks for help!
I have a small query. Basically I have been trying to explore the GGL since quite some time but I am having a hard time getting around with these terms like Rtree, wkt etc. I am trying to learn about them from web/Wikipedia but they are pretty hard to understand for me. Is this library way too advanced for someone like me? Is there anything simpler that I should start to explore first? Please suggest something. Things are getting heavy for me.
