Graham Scan Algorithm

This is a demo of the Graham Scan algorithm, implemented in Java and delivered with an Applet.

Usage

LinkedList<Point> list = new List();

Point p0 = new Point(x, y);
list.add(p0);
...
Point pn = new Point(x, y);
list.add(pn);

GrahamScan GS = new GrahamScan(list);
GS.Scan();
