Yes, CGAL is very powerful, it is actively developed, has good
documentation and active mailing list. (I had the feeling tree years ago
that gts lib was death, no activity on mailing list.) For constrained
delauney triangulation I found no other easy solution, coding that from
scratch is much work, and only fast in an compiled language. Similar for
appolonius graph. It is C++ with templates, with my basic C++ knowledge
I had some hard days getting it to work. My Ruby glue code is basically
plain C, but one has to understand some basic template stuff.
