Detailed Description

"Elementary" or "primitive" geometries are geometry classes that implement their methods directly (i.e. without the help of other geometries).

Elementary geometries included in the Geometry module are for instance sets of parallel planes, sets of concentric cylinders, sets of concentric spheres, prisms, a cone stack, etc. Missing elementary geometries that might be useful and implemented in future versions as the need arises are ellipsoids and other missing second order surfaces, and a torus.
