convex_hull
- compas.geometry.convex_hull(points)[source]
Construct convex hull for a set of points.
- Parameters
points (list) – A sequence of XYZ coordinates.
- Returns
list – The triangular faces of the convex hull as lists of vertex indices referring to the original point coordinates.
Notes
This algorithm is based on 1. Note that is not optimized and relatively slow on large sets of points. For a more optimized version of this algorithm, see 2.
