4//! which supports arbitrary dimensions and provides robust geometric calculations.

11/// Compute convex hull using QHull algorithm
12///
13/// QHull is a robust library for computing convex hulls in arbitrary dimensions.
14/// This implementation handles various edge cases and provides fallbacks for
15/// degenerate cases.
16///
17/// # Arguments
18///
19/// * `points` - Input points (shape: npoints x n_dim)
20///
21/// # Returns
22///
23/// * Result containing a ConvexHull instance or an error
24///
25/// # Errors
26///
27/// * Returns error if QHull computation fails
28/// * Falls back to special case handlers for small point sets
29///
30/// # Examples
31///
32/// ```rust
33/// use scirs2_spatial::convex_hull::algorithms::qhull::compute_qhull;

37/// let hull = compute_qhull(&points.view()).unwrap();
38/// assert_eq!(hull.ndim(), 2);
