Automated Geometry Diagram Construction and Engineering Geometry

This paper reviews and evaluates three main techniques for automated geometry diagram construction: synthetic methods, numerical computation methods, and symbolic computation methods. We also show how to use these techniques to: parametric mechanical CAD, linkage design, computer vision, dynamic geometry, and CAI (computer aided instruction). The methods and the applications reviewed in this paper are closely connected and could be appropriately named as engineering geometry.
