We also support novel agglomeration strategies based on the R-tree spatial data structure. To enable to computation of some quality metrics, mostly of theoretical interests and not really relevant in application codes, the external library **CGAL** is required. As this is a dependency of *deal.II* as well, it is sufficient to configure deal.II with it.
