+\ccPkgSummary{This chapter describes the functions provided in CGAL
+for producing convex hulls in two dimensions as well as functions for
+checking if sets of points are strongly convex are not. There are also
+a number of functions described for computing particular extreme
+points and subsequences of hull points, such as the lower and upper
+hull of a set of points.}
