Hi,

Some students are having difficulty with the 3D convex hulls.  That is
a secondary part of this project, so I am dispensing with your need to
create 3D convex hulls, in order to facilitate finishing the project tomorrow. 
If you already have this, your code should continue to work fine on this
specialization.  You still need to be able to generate 2D convex hulls.

The specialization will be that

1. the previous polyhedron data structure will have the convention that
if k = 1 and n = 1, then only a single polygon is given.

2. for any polyhedron given, I will guarantee that it is convex, as well
as satisfying previously stated conditions  (polygons may be non-convex)

3. I will give each team two data files, one for showing multiple surfaces
and the other (an easier requirement than before) will have a single polygon,
which you should display and generate its convex hull and show both on the
screen, simultaneously.  (Different colors would be good.)

Dr. Peters
