[OSM-talk] Finding a poly around set of points

[Lasse Luttermann]

Hi list.

I am working on a little project where I've got a database containing 
groupings of Lon-Lat pairs and I'm trying to find a good way to find the 
outer bounds of the area where the points is in. Since the points is 
often placed in an oblong square going diagonal (eg from SW to NE) a 
polygon is needed. A square would simply cover too much space around the 
area that needs to be highlighted.
It is for use with OpenLayers so some genius javascript solution would 
be nice!

- Lasse.
