Computes the maximum width of a 2d convex hull.

Namespace:  ceometric.ComputationalGeometry
Assembly:  ceometric.ComputationalGeometry (in ceometric.ComputationalGeometry.dll) Version: 2.4.0.0 (2.4.0.0)

Syntax

C#
public Edge MaximumWidth()
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function MaximumWidth As Edge
Visual C++
public:
Edge^ MaximumWidth()

Return Value

Returns an edge along the maximum width of a 2d convex hull.

Remarks

The maximum width of a 2d convex hull is defined as the maximum distance between two parallel lines of support. The computation takes O(n) time with n being the number of vertices of the 2d convex hull.
