Thread: minimum bounding circle for a triangle/polygon

minimum bounding circle for a triangle/polygon

From
"George Pavlov"
Date:
before i start reinventing the wheel does anyone have handy a function (or straight SQL) for calculating the centerpoint coordinates and the radius of the minimum bounding circle (not the the circumcircle) of a triangle (coordinates of 3 points given as inputs).
 
a bonus would be a generalization for any polygon, but that's probably too much.
 
thanks in advance!
