+\subsubsection Convex_hull_3Example Example
+
+The following program reads points from an input file and computes
+their convex hull.  We assume that the points are
+not all identical and not all collinear, thus we directly use a polyhedron
+as output. In the example you see that the convex hull function can
+write in any model of the concept `MutableFaceListGraph`.

+\subsubsection Convex_hull_3Example Example for lower dimensional results
+
+The following program reads points from an input file and computes
+their convex hull. Depending on the dimension of the result, we will
+get a point, a segment, a triangle, or a polyhedral surface.
+Note that the latter may also be planar polygon with a border.

 either given by the user or computed using linear programming. Notice that the
 second approach is slower due to the resolution of a linear program.
