+Computes the Minkowski sum \f$ P \oplus Q\f$ of the two given polygons.
+This method defaults to the reduced convolution method, see below.
 Note that as the input polygons may not be convex, their Minkowski
 sum may not be a simple polygon. The result is therefore represented
 as a polygon with holes.
