Abstract
Computational Geometry in Prolog
An Artificial Intelligence Language offers several advantages for the
implementation of Geometry and Graphics algorithms. The general high
level nature of the language creates a better software engineering
environment by hiding unnecessary details. Operator overloading
allows us to execute existing algorithms in new domains, such as big
rationals. Some small programs are given. They include finding
connected subcomponents of a graph and performaing Boolean operations
on two polygons.
