VDF provides a rich object model for geometric figures. Unlike basic graphics libraries that only know "pixels," VDF understands geometry. It knows that a line has a start point, an endpoint, a layer, a color, and a line weight. This semantic understanding allows for complex calculations like intersections, trimming, and offsets. It knows that a line has a start
When comparing to alternatives like CadLib, RealDWG, or ODA (Open Design Alliance), several differentiators emerge: or ODA (Open Design Alliance)
