You can use the IDL TRIANGULATE procedure to return the indices on the
points of the convex hull that surrounds a set of points. For example,
like this:
x = RANDOMU(seed, 100) * 5 + 2.5
y = RANDOMU(seed, 100) * 5 + 2.5
TRIANGULATE, x, y, triangles, hullPoints
PLOT, x, y, PSYM=1, XRANGE=[0,10], YRANGE=[0,10]
hullPoints = [hullPoints, hullPoints(0)]
PLOTS, x(hullPoints), y(hullPoints)
I learned this from David Stern himself! :-)

The DILATE and ERODE operators are useful in this kind of application.
Good luck.
