Subject: convexhull return object on < 5 points
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 05:51:41 +1100
To: bug-Math-Geometry-Planar [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Kevin Ryde <user42 [...] zip.com.au>
If convexhull() is called with a polygon of less than 5 points then it returns an array of points instead of a Math::Geometry::Planar. For example foo.pl below prints ARRAY(0xa168620) Math::Geometry::Planar=HASH(0xa19c2b0) I hoped that it would be the same sort of return in both cases, or if not then that the docs could describe this. I think returning a Math::Geometry::Planar object in all cases would be most convenient -- as long as nobody has depended on getting an arrayref back in the small points cases.
