Method Detail

convexHull

public Polygon2D convexHull(Collection<? extends Point2D> points)

Computes the convex hull of a set of points as a single Polygon2D. Current implementation start at the point with lowest y-coord. The points are considered in counter-clockwise order. Result is an instance of SimplePolygon2D. Complexity is O(n*h), with n number of points, h number of points of the hull. Worst case complexity is O(n^2).
