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.

• 

The long form, ComputationalGeometry:-command, is always available. The short form can be used after loading the package.
