# @turf/convex

# convex

Takes a [Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects) or a [FeatureCollection](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-collection-objects) and returns a convex hull [Polygon](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#polygon).

Internally this uses
the [convex-hull](https://github.com/mikolalysenko/convex-hull) module that
implements a [monotone chain hull](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Geometry/Convex_hull/Monotone_chain).

**Parameters**

-   `feature` **([Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects) \| [FeatureCollection](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-collection-objects))** input Feature or FeatureCollection

**Examples**

```javascript
var points = turf.featureCollection([
  turf.point([10.195312, 43.755225]),
  turf.point([10.404052, 43.8424511]),
  turf.point([10.579833, 43.659924]),
  turf.point([10.360107, 43.516688]),
  turf.point([10.14038, 43.588348]),
  turf.point([10.195312, 43.755225])
]);

var hull = turf.convex(points);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [points, hull]
```

Returns **[Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects)<[Polygon](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#polygon)>** a convex hull
