Introduction
The convex hull of a shape is the smallest convex set that contains the shape. It can be visualized as the shape formed by stretching a rubber band around the outermost points of the shape. The convex hull is a fundamental concept in computational geometry and has applications in various fields such as computer graphics, pattern recognition, and geographic information systems. Here, we will explore the convex hull algorithm, which is used to compute the convex hull of a set of finite points in the plane.
