Hi,

I like to know if the C++ standard library contains classes to
manipolate geometrical objects like points, rectangle, etc.

My problem is that libraries that I am actually using (MFC, LtiLib,
myself, ...) usually define the class for the same geometrical object
with different names. The same problem arises for the class members.

If a standardization actually does not exist, will it be in the
future?

TIA
Marco.

No.

I don't know. You could try writing up a proposal and submitting it.
