The XS was left only for the unit / integration tests, and it links libslic3r only. No wxWidgets are allowed to be used from Perl starting from now.

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. The program can be called from within your application.
|
|
You can view the results in 2-d, 3-d and 4-d with Geomview.

Abstract:
|
|
|
|
The convex hull of a set of points is the smallest convex set that contains
|
|
the points. This article presents a practical convex hull algorithm that
|
|
combines the two-dimensional Quickhull Algorithm with the general dimension
|
|
Beneath-Beyond Algorithm. It is similar to the randomized, incremental
|
|
algorithms for convex hull and Delaunay triangulation. We provide empirical
|
|
evidence that the algorithm runs faster when the input contains non-extreme
|
|
points, and that it uses less memory.
|
|
|
|
Computational geometry algorithms have traditionally assumed that input sets
|
|
are well behaved. When an algorithm is implemented with floating point
|
|
arithmetic, this assumption can lead to serious errors. We briefly describe
|
|
a solution to this problem when computing the convex hull in two, three, or
|
|
four dimensions. The output is a set of "thick" facets that contain all
|
|
possible exact convex hulls of the input. A variation is effective in five
|
|
or more dimensions.
