| Parent Resource | Geometry Service |
The convexHull operation is performed on a geometry service resource. It returns the convex hull of the input geometry. The input geometry can be a point, multipoint, polyline or polygon. The hull is typically a polygon but can also be a polyline or point in degenerate cases.
You can provide arguments to the convexHull operation as query parameters defined in the parameters table
below.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| f | Description: The response format.
The default response format is html. Values: html | json |
| geometries | Description: The geometries whose convex hull is to be created. The structure of geometry is same as the structure
of the JSON geometry objects returned by the ArcGIS REST API. Syntax and Examples: JSON Structures:Syntax:{
{
"geometryType" : "esriGeometryPolyline",
"geometries" : [
{
"paths" : [
[[-117,34],[-116,34],[-117,33]],
[[-115,44],[-114,43],[-115,43]]
]
},

Description: The well-known ID or a spatial reference json object for the output geometry. For a list of valid
WKID values, see Projected coordinate Systems
and Geographic coordinate Systems.

Example 1: In this example, Convex Hull is computed for three points.
