Question: Find the maximum diameter of the convex hull.
Http://poj.org/problem? Id = 2187
First, evaluate the convex hull of a polygon.
Then, the maximum diameter is obtained by rotating the jamming case.
In fact, two parallel lines are clamped out of the convex hull and rotated.
If Pa and Pb are the farthest points, then the parallel line of PA and PB must be rotated, and there must be a side that overlaps with the polygon.
This is used to enumerate each edge and find the farthest point from the edge. It looks like n ^ 2, just like enumeration.
However, because it is a convex polygon, for a certain edge, the distance from the point to the edge shows a single-peak function.
Then we can use the farthest point of the last edge to move it back.
