Calculates the convex hull of a given set of points
Calculates the convex hull of a given set of points. Monotone chain is used as algorithm.
Info
Given a set of points, the convex hull is a subset of points which form a polygon that encloses all points. The implemented algorithm is Andrew’s monotone chain algorithm, which has an efficient O(n log n) runtime.

Usage
The library consists of the convexHull
function, which takes a generic list of objects and accessor function for the x and y coordinates, and returns the objects forming a convex hull.
import 'package:vector_math/vector_math_64.dart';
import 'package:convex_hull/convex_hull.dart';
// you can use an iterable of any object. Here,
// Vector2 is used.
const points = <Vector2>[
Vector2(1, 2),
Vector2(3.2, 1),
Vector2(1.3, 1),
]
// specify what should be considered as the x and y coordinate
List<Vector2> hull = convexHull<Vector2>(points, x: (e) => e.x, y: (e) => e.y);
