Computing Convex Hulls

<p>Imagine that you have a bunch of points in the 2-dimensional plane.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:576/1*OzZCwTJZHhzHE5Ss7qLZCQ.png" style="height:408px; width:576px" /></p> <p>Image by the author.</p> <p>A&nbsp;<strong>convex hull</strong>&nbsp;is a simple geometric shape that represents or summarizes such point clouds. Speaking in mathematic language, it is the smallest convex subset that contains all the given points. In layman&rsquo;s terms, you put a rubber band around some tacks in a wall and then release it:</p> <p><a href="https://allaboutalgorithms.com/computing-convex-hulls-b08c9c48ab5a"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
