function [v,i] = hull2d(p)
%[v,i] = hull2d(p)     Convex hull of a set of 2D points.
%p is a np x 2 array; v is a (nv+1) x 2 array,
%with the last point being a duplicate of the first,
%(that way, plot(v(:,1),v(:,2)) yields a plot of the polygon)
%and i is the index of each vertex in the p array.
%v starts at the lower leftmost point and moves ccw around the hull.

%The algorithm was distilled by the author from an animated hull-finder called
%XYZGeobench, which was at one time available from ftp://liasun3.epfl.ch/pub/ai/XYZ
