qhull: Compute convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, Voronoi diagrams#

Description#

From the README.txt of Qhull:

Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Voronoi diagrams, and halfspace intersections about a point. It runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, or higher. It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing convex hulls. Qhull handles round-off errors from floating point arithmetic. It can approximate a convex hull.

The program includes options for hull volume, facet area, partial hulls, input transformations, randomization, tracing, multiple output formats, and execution statistics.

Further notes:

The qhull library is already shipped with the Python library scipy (from version 1.4), see

There is also the Python interface Pyhull available on PyPI https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyhull (see also documentation at http://pythonhosted.org/pyhull/).
