//! Convex hull algorithm implementations (Pure Rust)
//!
//! This module provides different algorithms for computing convex hulls,
//! each with their own strengths and use cases. All implementations are
//! pure Rust with no external C library dependencies.
//!
//! # Available Algorithms
//!
//! ## Quickhull (Pure Rust)
//! - **Module**: [`quickhull`]
//! - **Dimensions**: Any (1D, 2D, 3D, nD)
//! - **Time Complexity**: O(n log n) for 2D/3D, O(n^⌊d/2⌋) for d dimensions
//! - **Use Case**: General purpose, robust for all dimensions
//! - **Features**: Pure Rust, handles degenerate cases, provides facet equations
//!
//! ## Graham Scan (Pure Rust)
//! - **Module**: [`graham_scan`]
//! - **Dimensions**: 2D only
//! - **Time Complexity**: O(n log n)
//! - **Use Case**: Educational, guaranteed output order
//! - **Features**: Simple to understand, produces vertices in counterclockwise order
//!
//! ## Jarvis March (Gift Wrapping) (Pure Rust)
//! - **Module**: [`jarvis_march`]
//! - **Dimensions**: 2D only
//! - **Time Complexity**: O(nh) where h is the number of hull vertices
//! - **Use Case**: When hull has few vertices (h << n)
//! - **Features**: Output-sensitive, good for small hulls
//!
//! ## Special Cases
//! - **Module**: [`special_cases`]
//! - **Purpose**: Handle degenerate cases (collinear points, identical points, etc.)
//! - **Features**: Robust handling of edge cases that might break standard algorithms
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ## Using Quickhull (Recommended)
//! ```rust
//! use scirs2_spatial::convex_hull::algorithms::quickhull::compute_quickhull;
//! use scirs2_core::ndarray::array;
//!
//! let points = array![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0], [0.5, 0.5]];
//! let hull = compute_quickhull(&points.view()).expect("Operation failed");
//! println!("Hull has {} vertices", hull.vertex_indices().len());
//! ```
//!
//! ## Using Graham Scan for 2D
//! ```rust
//! use scirs2_spatial::convex_hull::algorithms::graham_scan::compute_graham_scan;
//! use scirs2_core::ndarray::array;
//!
//! let points = array![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0], [0.5, 0.5]];
//! let hull = compute_graham_scan(&points.view()).expect("Operation failed");
//! println!("Hull vertices: {:?}", hull.vertex_indices());
//! ```
//!
//! ## Using Jarvis March for Small Hulls
//! ```rust
//! use scirs2_spatial::convex_hull::algorithms::jarvis_march::compute_jarvis_march;
//! use scirs2_core::ndarray::array;
//!
//! let points = array![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0], [0.5, 0.5]];
//! let hull = compute_jarvis_march(&points.view()).expect("Operation failed");
//! println!("Hull computed with {} vertices", hull.vertex_indices().len());
//! ```
//!
//! ## Handling Special Cases
//! ```rust
//! use scirs2_spatial::convex_hull::algorithms::special_cases::handle_degenerate_case;
//! use scirs2_core::ndarray::array;
//!
//! // Collinear points
//! let collinear = array![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [2.0, 0.0]];
//! if let Some(result) = handle_degenerate_case(&collinear.view()) {
//!     let hull = result.expect("Operation failed");
//!     println!("Handled degenerate case with {} vertices", hull.vertex_indices().len());
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Algorithm Selection Guidelines
//!
//! - **For general use**: Use Quickhull - it's robust and handles all dimensions
//! - **For 2D educational purposes**: Use Graham Scan for its simplicity
//! - **For 2D with small expected hulls**: Use Jarvis March for output-sensitive performance
//! - **For edge cases**: All algorithms automatically fall back to special case handlers
//!
//! # Performance Characteristics
//!
//! | Algorithm | 2D Time | 3D Time | nD Time | Space | Robustness |
//! |-----------|---------|---------|---------|-------|------------|
//! | Quickhull | O(n log n) | O(n log n) | O(n^⌊d/2⌋) | O(n) | High |
//! | Graham Scan | O(n log n) | N/A | N/A | O(n) | Medium |
//! | Jarvis March | O(nh) | N/A | N/A | O(n) | Medium |
//!
//! Where:
//! - n = number of input points
//! - h = number of hull vertices
//! - d = dimension
