gts

brew install gts v0.7.6_3 LGPL-2.0-or-later

C library for working with triangulated surfaces, commonly used in geospatial and computational geometry applications.

Why you might care

GTS provides data structures and algorithms for 3D surface mesh manipulation, Boolean operations, and geometric queries. It's a build/runtime dependency for scientific and geospatial tools that need robust triangle mesh handling, and predates many modern geometry libraries. Use this if you're building spatial software or need legacy GTS compatibility.
