Description : GNU R mesh generation and surface tesselation
This GNU R package makes the qhull library (www.qhull.org)
available in R, in a similar manner as in Octave and MATLAB. Qhull
computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace
intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site
Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It
runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. It implements the
Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull does not
support constrained Delaunay triangulations, or mesh generation of
non-convex objects, but the package does include some R functions
that allow for this. Currently the package only gives access to
Delaunay triangulation and convex hull computation.
Remark: This package is needed to upgrade r-cran-ddalpha to its latest
upstream version. It is maintained by the R-pkg team at
https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-cran-geometry
