Its public documentation presents it as a collection of geometric algorithms for surface reconstruction, remeshing, parameterization, Boolean operations, exact predicates, Delaunay triangulations, mesh data structures, geometric search, spectral mesh processing, and linear solvers. ### Project history The project traces its roots to sustained geometry-processing work that began around 2000 during Levy's postdoctoral work at Stanford. Geogram later gathered major software results from the ALICE Inria project, which ran from 2004 to 2018, and preserved implementations behind more than 30 research articles in venues such as ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM Transactions on Graphics, the Symposium on Geometry Processing, and Eurographics. Geogram's evolution was tied to research grants and applied meshing work. The project documentation credits ERC GOODSHAPE and VORPALINE grants and Inria exploratory actions EXPLORAGRAM and COSMOGRAM with extending the library toward large-scale computational physics and optimal transport. ### Adoption history The Symposium on Geometry Processing recognized Geogram with its 2023 Software Award, citing both the library and its role in making research results reproducible. The project's own publications page lists downstream projects and users in academic, industrial, and scientific settings, including NASA Ames' LAVA Voronoi Mesher, AliceVision, PyMesh, OVITO, OpenGeode, R wrappers, and geologic meshing tools. ### How it is used Practitioners use Geogram as a geometry kernel and command-line toolkit for meshes, Voronoi and Delaunay computations, robust predicates, reconstruction, remeshing, CSG, and geometry-processing research prototypes. Package users also encounter companion tools such as `geodump` and `vorpalite` for inspecting geometry data and running mesh-oriented workflows. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, Geogram is notable because it packages a research-grade geometry-processing codebase with a wide dependency surface and long-running upstream release history. It sits in the same practical space as other mesh-processing libraries, but its appeal comes from reproducible research algorithms and a ready-to-install command-line surface for computational geometry experiments. ### Timeline - 2000: Development effort began during Bruno Levy's postdoctoral work at Stanford. - 2004-2018: ALICE Inria project produced many of the research results later collected in Geogram. - 2023: Geogram received the Symposium on Geometry Processing Software Award. ### Related projects - Graphite is an experimental 3D modeler built around Geogram. The Geogram wiki also links related wrappers and downstream users such as Julia and Rust bindings, AliceVision, PyMesh, OVITO, OpenGeode, and RGeogram. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** geogram - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - geogram: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ge/geogram/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - geogram - 1.8.5-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: geogram from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Programming library with geometric algorithms | https://github.com/BrunoLevy/geogram - Ubuntu apt - libgeogram-dev - 1.8.5-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libgeogram-dev from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Programming library with geometric algorithms | https://github.com/BrunoLevy/geogram - Ubuntu apt - libgeogram-doc - 1.8.5-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libgeogram-doc from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Programming library with geometric algorithms | https://github.com/BrunoLevy/geogram - Ubuntu apt - libgeogram1 - 1.8.5-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libgeogram1 from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Programming library with geometric algorithms | https://github.com/BrunoLevy/geogram - pacman - geogram - 1.10.0-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: geogram from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Library of geometric algorithms | https://github.com/BrunoLevy/geogram ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [gts](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gts/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, computational-geometry, mesh, science. - [sfcgal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sfcgal/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, computational-geometry, science. - [voro++](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/voro/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, computational-geometry, science. - [qhull](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/qhull/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, computational-geometry, science. - [cddlib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cddlib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, computational-geometry, science. - [admesh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/admesh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mesh, science. - [biosig](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/biosig/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, science. - [ccfits](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ccfits/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, science. - [clp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clp/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
