Problem with PlanarGraphPlot And ConvexHull

Posted 10 years ago
I'm getting a lot of strange errors when using PlanarGraphPlot with a simple list of 11 points
 << ComputationalGeometry`;
 x = {{184978.59580704456`, 77909.66948289984`}, {184978.27815712072`,

PlanarGraphPlot[x]

When I drop the last point I get the expected plot
PlanarGraphPlot@Drop[x, -1]
I've attached a file with the code.  My Mathematica version is 9.0.1 on Mac OS X

Thanks

Me too, the error disappears after commenting any point out, not just the last one. This works (Windows 7 64 Bit Mma 9.0.1) with all points
PlanarGraphPlot[Sort[x]]

Also this set of points fails to give proper ConvexHull.  It fails silently without errors or warnings.  Using Mma 9.0.1 64-bit on Mac OSX

Thanks for trying on windows Udo.  Sorting doesn't help on Mac OS X.

Sorting doesn't help on Mac OS X.

To clarify, please: Sort[] under Windows does help under the following circumstances only
  • load the ComputationalGeometry package
  • read in data set x
  • comment any data point from the set out and save the notebook
  • run PlanarGraphPlot with that reduced set x
  • reactivate the data point, thus restoring the set x to its original content
  • run PlanarGraphPlot[Sort], it works
If one loads ComputationalGeometry package, reads in the set x and runs directly PlanarGraphPlot[Sort] under Windows, it fails too, like under Mac. I've searched for hidden content in the notebook, but did not find some.
POSTED BY: Udo Krause
To clarify even more: there is a problem with pseudo collinearity within the set x, pointed out by
PlanarGraphPlot[Normalize/@x]

DelaunayTriangulation::collin: Points {{0.921589,0.388168},{0.921589,0.388167},{0.92159,0.388165},<<5>>,{0.921592,0.388159},{0.921592,0.388159},{0.921593,0.388158}} are collinear. >>
Knowing that one has to go to the last resort
PlanarGraphPlot[MapIndexed[Rationalize[#, 0] &, x, {2}]]
and that works without any special fiddling by the user.

The set y seems to have a similiar problem you might investigate further, again Rationalize[] works

It was due to floating point precision.  See discussion here
