This package consits of functions that computes the lower (or upper) envelope of a set of arbitrary curves in 2D. The output is represented as an envelope diagram, namely a subdivision of the \( x\)-axis into intervals, such that the identity of the curves that induce the envelope on each interval is unique.

This package consists of functions that compute the lower (or upper) envelope of a set of arbitrary curves in 2D. The output is represented as an envelope diagram, namely a subdivision of the \( x\)-axis into intervals, such that the identity of the curves that induce the envelope over each interval is unique.
