What is Qhull?

Qhull

Qhull is a cool piece of software that helps you work with points in space. It takes a bunch of points you give it and figures out the smallest convex shape that can hold them all. This is super useful for tasks in geometry and computer science!

What Can Qhull Do?

So, what exactly can Qhull do? Well, it's pretty impressive! It calculates:

• Convex hulls: These are the smallest shapes that wrap around your points.


• Delaunay triangulations: This technique creates triangles from your points without overlaps.


• Voronoi diagrams: These help to divide space into regions based on distance to points.


• Furthest-site Delaunay triangulations:


• Furthest-site Voronoi diagrams:

Dimensions and Error Handling

Qhull works in various dimensions—like 2D, 3D, 4D, and even higher! It uses something called the Quickhull algorithm to compute those convex hulls quickly. Plus, it's smart about dealing with roundoff errors from floating-point math, which means you get accurate results most of the time.

A Few Limitations

You should know that Qhull has some limitations too. For example, it doesn't handle constrained Delaunay triangulations or mesh generation for non-convex shapes. Also, if you're working with medium-sized inputs in 9D or higher, you might run into issues.
