ConvexHulls2d
Zero dependency convex hulls in 2d.
Usage
using ConvexHulls2d
pts = [randn(2) for _ in 1:50]
h = CH.ConvexHull(pts)
CH.area(h)
CH.circumference(h)
CH.vertices(h) # corner points that span the convex hull
CH.indices(h) # indices of the corner points as elements of pts
using GLMakie # requires >= julia 1.9
fap = scatter(first.(pts), last.(pts), label="points", color=:blue)
lines!(h, label="ConvexHull", color=:red)
scatter!(h, label="vertices", color=:red)

Alternatives
There are many packages in julia capapable of computing convex hulls. Some examples are:
All of these packages offer much more than this package, however they are more heavy depependencies. Also this package is faster then most of them for small to medium numbers of points.
