qhull

brew install qhull v2020.2 Qhull

Computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, and Voronoi diagrams in n-dimensional space.

Why you might care

Essential computational geometry library for applications needing convex hull or Voronoi diagram algorithms. Used as a build dependency by scientific and graphics software; provides fast, robust implementations of classic algorithms. Available as C library or command-line tools for one-off computations.
