Detailed Description

Utility functions for working with polygons, lines, and other vector math.

All functions which accepts Vector3s but work in 2D space uses the XZ space if nothing else is said.

Version: A lot of functions in this class have been moved to the VectorMath class the names have changed slightly and everything now consistently assumes a left handed coordinate system now instead of sometimes using a left handed one and sometimes using a right handed one. This is why the 'Left' methods redirect to methods named 'Right'. The functionality is exactly the same.

static Vector3 [] ConvexHull ( Vector3[] points )

Implemented using the very simple Gift Wrapping Algorithm which has a complexity of O(nh) where n is the number of points and h is the number of points on the hull, so it is in the worst case quadratic.
