15 Boost.Tuple tuples with arithmetic elements can be used as
16 points within Boost.Geometry
20 Boost.Tuple fixed sized collections, such as boost::tuple<double, double>, are
21 (optionally) adapted to the Boost.Geometry point concept.
23 Boost.Tuple pairs or triples might have mutually different types, such as a
24 boost::tuple<float, double>. Boost.Geometry reports the first type as its
25 [link geometry.reference.core.coordinate_type coordinate_type].
27 Boost.Geometry supports Boost.Tuple pairs, triples, quadruples, etc up to
28 tuples with 10 elements (though most algorithms do not support so many
31 A tuple can be the point type used by the models linestring, polygon, segment,
