Calling Sequence

diameter(g)

Parameters

g

-

list or set of points

Description

• 

The routine computes the diameter of a given set or list of points g. The output is a list of three elements where the first two elements are two points denoting the two endpoints of the diameter of g, the third element the distance between these two endpoints.

• 

To find the diameter of a list or set of points, the coordinates of the points must be numeric.

• 

The command with(geometry,diameter) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
