1"""Alpha shape
2Determine the shape of a set of points.
3
4From website by Kaspar Fischer:
5As mentionned in Edelsbrunner's and Muecke's paper, one can
6intuitively think of an alpha-shape as the following:
7
8Imagine a huge mass of ice-cream making up the space and containing
9the points S as ``hard'' chocolate pieces. Using one of these
10sphere-formed ice-cream spoons we carve out all parts of the ice-cream
11block we can reach without bumping into chocolate pieces, even
12carving out holes in the inside (eg. parts not reachable by simply
13moving the spoon from the outside). We will eventually end up with a
14(not necessarily convex) object bounded by caps, arcs and points. If
15we now straighten all ``round'' faces to triangles and line segments,
16we have an intuitive description of what is called the alpha-shape.
