Overview of the ComputationalGeometry package

Description

 • The ComputationalGeometry package contains routines implementing computational geometry algorithms.
 • The ComputationalGeometry package uses the Qhull library developed at http://www.qhull.org.
 • Each command in the ComputationalGeometry package can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the calling sequence.
 • As the underlying implementation of the ComputationalGeometry package is a module, it is also possible to use the form ComputationalGeometry:-command to access a command from the package. For more information, see Module Members.
