conv_hull - convex hulls (using Qhull)
Usage: conv_hull [options] [input_file]
Read a file in OFF format and make a convex hull (using Qhull). If
input_file is not given the program reads from standard input.
Options
-h,--help this help message (run 'off_util -H help' for general help)
--version version information
-a append the convex hull to the input file
-Q <args> additional arguments to pass to qhull (unsupported, may not
work, check output)
-o <file> write output to file (default: write to standard output)
cube.txt is a file containg eight cube vertices ±1, ,±1, ±1. Make the edges with
conv_hull -o cube.off cube.txt
Triangulate the output, so each square also has a diagonal edge
conv_hull -Q QJ -o cube.off cube.txt
See
Notes
below.
The conv_hull program is a thin wrapper around
Qhull.
The Antiprism programs
will read three dimensional Qhull OFF output, so it is also
convenient to use the Qhull programs directly. This is
recommended if you want to use additional options. Notice that
conv_hull -Q Qt -o cube.off cube.txt
conv_hull -a -Q QJ -o cube.off cube.txt
Do not give the expected results.
Antiprism includes Qhull source code. The original code can be obtained from
http://www.qhull.org/.
