The XYZ (eXperimental geometrY Zurich) GeoBench is a software
system for experimental geometric computation.  It consists of
the application "GeoBench", in which numerous algorithms in
computational geometry are implemented, and the THINK Pascal 
sources together with the necessary project files.  

The application GeoBench requires a Macintosh with a math
coprocessor, system 6.04 or higher, and 2MB of memory.  The
author advertises a much slower version that will run without 
the coprocessor, available directly from him (schorn@inf.ethz.ch).  

GeoBench implements an impressive list of routines.  You can 
create a geometric object (point, line, circle, n-gon, n-dimensional
point, etc.) either by drawing it or by having it generated randomly.
Then each type of object has a set of operations that can be applied
to it.  For example, a sampling of operations for points is Closest
Pair, Convex Hull, Spanning Tree, Nearest Neighbor, Voronoi Diagram. 
All of these have several implementations that can be animated so that
each step in the algorithm is drawn as it is executed.

Source code for these as well as other routines is available from the
author.  The programs run under system 6.04 or higher, and they are
32-bit clean.


The program runs on system 4.0 or later, including system 7, and 
appears to be 32-bit clean. It does not use color and does not need 
an FPU.
