Determines if points are on the convex hull of a triangulation object
Given a triangulation tri.obj of n points in the plane, this
subroutine returns a logical vector indicating if the points
(x_i,y_i)
lay on the convex hull of tri.obj.
on.convex.hull(tri.obj, x, y)
| tri.obj | object of class  | 
| x | vector of x-coordinates of points to locate | 
| y | vector of y-coordinates of points to locate | 
Logical vector.

# example from TRIPACK:
data(tritest)
tr<-tri.mesh(tritest$x,tritest$y)
on.convex.hull(tr,0.5,0.5)
on.convex.hull(tr,c(0.5,-1,1),c(0.5,1,1))
# use a part of the quakes data set:
data(quakes)
quakes.part<-quakes[(quakes[,1]<=-10.78 & quakes[,1]>=-19.4 &
                     quakes[,2]<=182.29 & quakes[,2]>=165.77),]
q.tri<-tri.mesh(quakes.part$lon, quakes.part$lat, duplicate="remove")
