\brief Make [CGAL](http://www.cgal.org) functionality available to IMP.

# CGAL # {#CGAL}

[CGAL](https://www.cgal.org) is a library of geometry-related
algorithms and data structures written in C++. The relevant parts of
CGAL are licensed under LGPL and QPL and commercial licenses are
available if needed. More information can be found on the
[CGAL license page](https://www.cgal.org/license.html).

The module should not be used directly by users. Instead IMP.algebra and IMP.core functionality will be improved when CGAL is available. The main purpose of this module is to allow certain CGAL code to be built with different build flags than the rest of IMP. Specifically, CGAL needs IEEE floating point specs to be followed exactly.
