Hi All,
I have an unordered set of points (x,y). I want to form a polygon from these vertices which should arrange the points in either clockwise or anticlockwise sense. Is it possible to do in MATLAB?

Thanks.

Can't you just find the centroid, then find the angle from the
centroid to each of the points, then sort based on angle? You'd get a
multi-pointed star-like object I would think.
