Nice! That's exactly what makes boost::geometry so attractive in my opinion. Fingers crossed someone steps up and funds this work. > Just for information, Sandro Santilli implemented approximate medial axis in SFCGAL Hmm... this changes *everything*! I'm going to see if I can use this as an argument to get some time from one of my existing contracts to work on this. They have a strong need for the previously described road generalisation algorithm, so maybe I can use this as a push to get some time for this.
