The motivation for providing the polygon_90_set_concept is that it is a very common special case of planar geometry which afford the implementation of a variety of optimizations on the general planar geometry algorithms. Manhattan geometry processing by the polygon_90_set_concept can be 100X faster than arbitrary angle polygon manipulation. Because the performance benefits are so large and the special case is important enough, the library provides these performance benefits for those application domains that require them. Users are recommended to use std::vector and std::list of user defined polygons or library provided polygon_90_set_data<coordinate_type> objects. Lists and vectors of models of polygon_90_concept or polygon_90_with_holes_concept or rectangle_concept are automatically models of polygon_90_set_concept. ## Operators The return type of some operators is the polygon_90_set_view operator template type. This type is itself a model of the polygon_90_set concept, but furthermore can be used as an argument to the polygon_90_set_data constructor and assignment operator. The operator template exists to eliminate temp copies of intermediate results when Boolean operators are chained together. Operators are declared inside the namespace boost::polygon::operators.

# Polygon 90 Set Data Object The polygon 90 set data type encapsulates the internal data format that serves as the input to the sweep-line algorithm that implements polygon-clipping boolean operations. It also internally keeps track of whether that data has been sorted or scanned and maintains the invariant that when its flags indicate that the data is sorted or scanned the data has not been changed to violate that assumption. Using the Polygon 90 Set Data type directly can be more efficient than using lists and vectors of polygons in the functions above because of the invariants it can enforce which provide the opportunity to maintain the data is sorted form rather than going all the way out to polygons then resorting those vertices for a subsequent operation. The declaration of Polygon 90 Set Data is the following: template <typename T> class polygon_90_set_data; The class is parameterized on the coordinate data type. Algorithms that benefit from knowledge of the invariants enforced by the class are implemented as member functions to provide them access to information about those invariants. ## Member Functions
