Closes the v0.9.0 release loop on top of Phase 9a-Newton + Phase 8b-Lite: * CHANGELOG.md (NEW) — Keep-A-Changelog format, with v0.9.0 entry detailing all Phase 9a / 9b / 8b-Lite contents and the doc-audit corrections that landed via PR #10. * CITATION.cff — version 0.7.0 → 0.9.0, date 2026-05-18 → 2026-05-22. * Stale HDS-port stubs removed (13 GTEST_SKIPs total): - code/tests/test_spherical_functional.cpp - code/tests/test_hyper_ideal_functional.cpp - code/tests/test_hyper_ideal_hyperelliptic_utility.cpp These referenced a "HDS port (Phase 4)" that never happened — CoHDS was intentionally replaced by CGAL::Surface_mesh, and the functional tests live in code/tests/cgal/test_*_functional.cpp. * Test-count updates everywhere: - Non-CGAL 36 → 23 (drop = 13 deleted stubs) - CGAL 176 → 227 - Total 212 → 250 (+38 net, 0 skipped) Files: README.md, CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG.md, scripts/try_it.sh, doc/api/tests.md, doc/contributing.md, doc/getting-started.md, doc/math/validation.md.

C++17 reimplementation of [ConformalLab](https://github.com/varylab/conformallab) —
|
||
Stefan Sechelmann's Java research library for discrete conformal geometry (TU Berlin).
|
||
The long-term goal is a **CGAL package** for discrete conformal maps.

|
||
|
||
**Status:** v0.9.0 — Phases 1–9a complete, Phase 8b-Lite CGAL API surface. Newton solvers for **five** DCE models (Euclidean / Spherical / HyperIdeal / CP-Euclidean / Inversive-Distance), priority-BFS layout in ℝ²/S²/Poincaré disk, Gauss–Bonnet, tree-cotree cut graph, Möbius holonomy, period matrix (genus 1), fundamental domain, halfedge_uv texture atlas, JSON/XML serialisation, CLI app. **227 CGAL tests + 23 non-CGAL tests, 0 skipped.**

|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://codeberg.org/TMoussa/ConformalLabpp && cd ConformalLabpp
|
||
|
||
# Fast tests — no system dependencies
|
||
cmake -S code -B build && cmake --build build --target conformallab_tests -j$(nproc)
|
||
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
|
||
|
||
# CGAL tests headless (apt install libboost-dev / brew install boost)
|
||
cmake -S code -B build -DWITH_CGAL_TESTS=ON
|
||
cmake --build build --target conformallab_cgal_tests -j$(nproc)
|
||
ctest --test-dir build -R "^cgal\." --output-on-failure
|
||
|
||
# Full build with CLI + viewer (requires Wayland/X11 dev headers)
|
||
cmake -S code -B build -DWITH_CGAL=ON && cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
|
||
./bin/conformallab_core -i input.off -g euclidean -o layout.off -j result.json
|
||
|
||
# API documentation (requires doxygen: brew/apt install doxygen)
|
||
cmake --build build --target doc
|
||
open doc/doxygen/html/index.html
|
||
```
|
||

|

|
||
## Minimal usage
|
||
|
||
```cpp
|
||
#include "conformal_mesh.hpp"
|
||
#include "mesh_io.hpp"
|
||
#include "euclidean_functional.hpp"
|
||
#include "gauss_bonnet.hpp"
|
||
#include "newton_solver.hpp"
|
||
#include "layout.hpp"
|
||
|
||
using namespace conformallab;
|
||
|
||
ConformalMesh mesh = load_mesh("input.off");
|
||
EuclideanMaps maps = setup_euclidean_maps(mesh);
|
||
compute_euclidean_lambda0_from_mesh(mesh, maps);
|
||
|
||
// Assign DOFs — pin first vertex (gauge fix)
|
||
auto vit = mesh.vertices().begin();
|
||
maps.v_idx[*vit++] = -1;
|
||
int idx = 0;
|
||
for (; vit != mesh.vertices().end(); ++vit) maps.v_idx[*vit] = idx++;
|
||
|
||
// Natural equilibrium target: x* = 0 by construction
|
||
std::vector<double> x0(idx, 0.0);
|
||
auto G0 = euclidean_gradient(mesh, x0, maps);
|
||
for (auto v : mesh.vertices())
|
||
if (maps.v_idx[v] >= 0) maps.theta_v[v] -= G0[maps.v_idx[v]];
|
||
|
||
check_gauss_bonnet(mesh, maps);
|
||
NewtonResult res = newton_euclidean(mesh, x0, maps);
|
||
Layout2D layout = euclidean_layout(mesh, res.x, maps);
|
||
```
