Generation of simple polygons from ordered points using an iterative insertion algorithm.

To construct a simple polygon from a set of plane points, we propose an iterative inserting ordered points (IIOP) algorithm. Using a given a set of ordered non-collinear points, a simple polygon can be formed and its shape is dependent on the sorting method used. To form such simple polygons with a...
