>  Subject: Minimum bounding n-corner
>  Hi!
>
>  I am a complete newbie to CGAL and to most of Computational Geometry
>  Algorithms. By reading the online documentation I was not able to identify
>  if it is possible to build the Minimum bounding n-corner (or simply n-C) of
>  a polygon using the functions defined by CGAL. In fact, I would like to
>  build the 5-C conservative approximation, i.e., to define a 5 sided polygon
>  that circumscribes the orginal polygon, as shown in the attached figure (by
>  Brinkhoff, T. 1994).
