**Sphere tessellation toolkit**

This crate provides a general, easy-to-use API for working with tessellated spheres, i.e. spheres
whose surface is partitioned into polygonal cells. It includes implementations for a variety of
such tessellations.

![Example triangular tessellation](https://github.com/dzamkov/subsphere/blob/master/render/out/trisphere_icosa_3_1_fuller.png?raw=true)

## Features

* **Implicit Representation:** Instead of storing geometry data directly, the
tessellations, and the elements within them, are represented implicitly. They are compact
zero-allocation `Copy` types that can be used to generate geometry on the fly. This lets you work
with massive tessellations using very little memory.

* **Versatility:** This crate allows you to explore a huge variety of tessellations, all sharing a
common API. There's a bunch of adjustable parameters and you're free to mix-and-match topologies
and projections to tune the tessellation to your needs.

* **Spherical Geometry:** In the world of `subsphere`, there is only one geometric space: the
sphere. All objects follow the contours of the sphere, and all calculations correctly account for
this.
