[From the README file:]

Convex hull, Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagrams, Halfspace intersection
 
Purpose

  Qhull is a general dimension convex hull program that reads a set 
  of points from stdin, and outputs the smallest convex set that
  contains   the points to stdout.  It also generates Delaunay
  triangulations, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Voronoi 
  diagrams,and halfspace intersections about a point.  

  Rbox is a useful tool in generating input for Qhull; it generates 
  hypercubes, diamonds, cones, circles, simplices, spirals, 
  lattices, and random points.
  
  Qhull produces graphical output for Geomview.  This helps with
  understanding the output. <http://www.geomview.org>

    
Environment requirements

  Qhull and rbox should run on all 32-bit and 64-bit computers.  Use
  an ANSI C or C++ compiler to compile the program.  The software is 
  self-contained.  


The qhull project already exists and you can download the latest distribution 
at http://www6.uniovi.es/ftp/pub/mirrors/geom.umn.edu/software/ghindex.html
