Hulls

Meshes.hull — Function

hull(points, method)

Compute the hull of points with given method.

Meshes.convexhull — Function

convexhull(object)

Convex hull of object.

Meshes.HullMethod — Type

HullMethod

A method for computing hulls of geometries.

Meshes.GrahamScan — Type

GrahamScan()

Compute the convex hull of a set of points or geometries using the Graham's scan algorithm. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_scan.

The algorithm has complexity O(n*log(n)) where n is the number of points.

Meshes.JarvisMarch — Type

JarvisMarch()

Compute the convex hull of a set of points or geometries using the Jarvis's march algorithm. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giftwrappingalgorithm.

The algorithm has complexity O(n*h) where n is the number of points and h is the number of points in the hull.
