# conformallab++

conformallab++ is a modern C++ reimplementation of the ConformalLab software by Stefan Sechelmann for experiments in discrete conformal geometry and related mesh transformations.
  
It builds on well‑established open‑source libraries such as **CGAL**, **Eigen**, and **Boost** for robust geometric data structures and efficient numerical computations, and uses single‑header libraries **CLI11** and **json.hpp** for a lightweight command‑line interface and configuration handling.

## Status

This project is in an early prototype stage.  
API, file formats and command‑line interface are all subject to change.

## Features (placeholder)

- Discrete conformal geometry utilities (placeholder)
- Mesh and graph data structures built on CGAL (placeholder)
- Linear algebra and optimization routines using Eigen (placeholder)
- High‑level operations and helpers based on Boost (placeholder)
- Command‑line tools with CLI11 and JSON configuration (placeholder)

## Getting started

### Prerequisites

- A C++20 compiler (e.g. `g++` or `clang++`)
- CMake (version X.Y or newer, placeholder)
- CGAL, Eigen, and Boost installed and discoverable by CMake
