I have a need to calculate the minimum area rectangle (smallest possible rectangle) around the polygon.
The only input i have is the number of points in polygon.
I have the co-ordinates of the points also.
Use the rotating calipers algorithm for a convex polygon, or the convex hull otherwise. You will of course need the coordinates of the points in the polygon, not just the number of points.
