Usage: ------ +The application consists of a canvas and two buttons. It will allow you input a number of 2-D Euclidean points using a mouse and calculate the geometric separator. Tentatively, you will also be able to provide a file of predefined points (e.g. .csv format). + Click the mouse anywhere on the canvas to create a new input point. When you have completed your input, either press 'Reset.' to clear it or 'Calculate.' to find the separator. Features: --------- -The program will visualize several components of the algorthm: +The program will visualize several components of the algorithm: * Highlights the estimated centerpoint for your input. * Shows the separator in relation to your input.
