convex-minkowski-sum

Computes the Minkowski sum of two convex polytopes encoded as sets of points

var msum = require('convex-minkowski-sum')

//A is a triangle in 3D
var A = [[1,0,0], [0,1,0], [1,1,0]]

//B is a line segment
var B = [[0,-1,0], [0,1,0]]

console.log(msum(A,B))

npm install convex-minkowski-sum

var msum = require('convex-minkowski-sum')

msum(A,B)

Computes the Minkowski sum of A and B

• A and B are both arrays of vertices encoded as d-tuples of points

Returns A set of points representing the Minkowski sum of A and B

msum.pairs(A,B)

Computes a set of pairs representing the vertices of the Minkowski sum of A and B

• A and B are arrays of points

Returns An array of pairs representing the vertices on the convex hull of the Minkowski sum of A and B

msum.faces(A,B)

Computes the faces of the Minkowski sum of A and B

• A and B are arrays of points

Returns An array of the faces of the Minkowski sum of A and B represented as pairs of lists of vertices in A and B respectively.(c) 2014 Mikola Lysenko. MIT License
