Surface Grid

A crate providing data structures for square-tiled grids wrapped around the surface of certain objects. This create was intended to be used for the creation of cellular automata on non-flat grids. The crate provides a trait SurfaceGrid with an associated type Point which can be used to traverse the grid squares. Additionally, for grids that wrap a sphere the Point type implements the SpherePoint trait providing conversions between geographic and surface grid coordinates.

You can view examples in examples.

The documentation is available at https://docs.rs/surface-grid/.

Available Surfaces

Spheres

• RectangleSphereGrid - Uses an equirectangular projection to wrap a rectangle around the sphere.
• CubeSphereGrid - Projects a cube over the sphere with each face being a square grid.
