ZSPACE is a C++ library collection of geometry data-structures and algorithms framework. It is implemented as a header-only C++ library, whose dependencies, are header-only or static libraries. Hence ZSPACE can be easily embedded in C++ projects.
Optionally the library may also be pre-compiled into a statically or dynamically linked library, for faster compile times.
