NAME

       Geometry::Primitive - Primitive Geometry Entities

SYNOPSIS

       Geometry::Primitive is a device and library agnostic system for representing geometric entities such as points, lines and shapes.  It
       provides simple objects and many convenience methods you would expect from a simple geometry library.

	   use Geometry::Primitive::Point;

	   my $foo = Geometry::Primitive::Point->new(x => 1, y => 3);
	   ...

DISCLAIMER

       I'm not a math guy. I hate math. I will likely learn a lot in the process of making this library. If you are a math person you will
       probably look at this and find many things missing or wrong. Patches are encouraged. I will likely find that I've done something completely
       wrong having taken geometry over 10 years ago.  C'est la vie.

ENTITIES

       Arc
       Bezier
       Circle
       Ellipse
       Line
       Point
       Polygon
       Rectangle

SERIALIZATON

       All of the entities in this library support serialization via MooseX::Storage.  This is primarily to support serialization in consumers of
       this library, but may be useful for other purposes.  All classes are set to JSON format and File IO.
