GeoLab: An Environment for Development of Algorithms in Computational Geometry

We describe a Computational {\em Geo}metry {\em Lab}oratory which we developed as a programming environment for implementation, testing and animation of geometric algorithms. {\em GeoLab} was conceived to be a tool for the working researcher or a group of them, since at its root lie the use of shared libraries of algorithms and an incremental approach to aggregating new types of geometric objects, data structures and extensions accessed through dynamic linking.
