      Description: Programs and library for computing convex hulls.
      Long Description: Qhull computes the convex hull, Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagram, halfspace intersection about a point, furthest-site Delaunay triangulation, and furthest-site Voronoi diagram. The software runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. Qhull implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. It handles roundoff errors from floating point arithmetic. Qhull also computes volumes, surface areas, and approximations to the convex hull.

    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching qhull
      ---> Verifying checksum for qhull
      ---> Extracting qhull
      ---> Configuring qhull
      ---> Building qhull with target all
      ---> Staging qhull into destroot
      ---> Installing qhull
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using qhull with these commands:
      %  man qhull
      % apropos qhull
      % which qhull
      % locate qhull
