Description
The Computational Geometry Algorithms Library provides some complex geometric computations, many of which are not included in any of QGIS' current toolboxes despite being quite useful for geographic analysis (e.g. "triangulations, voronoi diagrams, boolean operations, point set processing, arrangements of curves, surface and volume mesh generation, geometry processing, alpha shapes, convex hull algorithms, shape analysis, AABB and KD trees"). It is licensed under GPL and LGPL and written in C++ with python bindings, so I imagine its packages would be relatively easy to implement in QGIS as a plugin or toolbox.
