qhull -- compute convex hulls and related structures. Qhull 2020.2.r 2020/08/31
input (stdin): dimension, number of points, point coordinates
comments start with a non-numeric character
halfspace: use dim+1 and put offsets after coefficients
options (qh-quick.htm):
d - Delaunay triangulation by lifting points to a paraboloid
d Qu - furthest-site Delaunay triangulation (upper convex hull)
v - Voronoi diagram as the dual of the Delaunay triangulation
v Qu - furthest-site Voronoi diagram
H1,1 - Halfspace intersection about [1,1,0,...] via polar duality
Qt - triangulated output
QJ - joggled input instead of merged facets
Tv - verify result: structure, convexity, and point inclusion
. - concise list of all options
- - one-line description of each option
-? - this message
-V - version
Output options (subset):
s - summary of results (default)
i - vertices incident to each facet
n - normals with offsets
p - vertex coordinates (if 'Qc', includes coplanar points)
if 'v', Voronoi vertices
FA - report total area and volume
Fp - halfspace intersections
FS - total area and volume
Fx - extreme points (convex hull vertices)
G - Geomview output (2-d, 3-d and 4-d)
m - Mathematica output (2-d and 3-d)
o - OFF format (if 'v', outputs Voronoi regions)
QVn - print facets that include point n, -n if not
TI file - input file, may be enclosed in single quotes
TO file - output file, may be enclosed in single quotes
