<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="PAn">PAn - keep n largest
facets by area</a></h3>
<p>The <i>n</i> largest facets are marked good for printing. This
may be useful for <a href="qh-impre.htm#approximate">approximating
a hull</a>. Unless '<a href="#PG">PG</a>' is set, '<a href="#Pg">Pg</a>'
is automatically set. </p>
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="Pdk">Pdk:n - print facet if
normal[k] >= n </a></h3>
<p>For a given output, print only those facets with <i>normal[k] >= n</i>
and <i>drop</i> the others. For example, 'Pd0:0.5' prints facets with <i>normal[0]
>= 0.5 </i>. The default value of <i>n</i> is zero. For
example in 3-d, 'Pd0d1d2' prints facets in the positive octant.
<p>
If no facets match, the closest facet is returned.</p>
<p>
On Windows 95, do not combine multiple options. A 'd' is considered
part of a number. For example, use 'Pd0:0.5 Pd1:0.5' instead of
'Pd0:0.5d1:0.5'.
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="PDk">PDk:n - print facet if
normal[k] <= n</a></h3>
<p>For a given output, print only those facets with <i>normal[k] <= n</i>
and <i>drop</i> the others.
For example, 'PD0:0.5' prints facets with <i>normal[0]
<= 0.5 </i>. The default value of <i>n</i> is zero. For
example in 3-d, 'PD0D1D2' displays facets in the negative octant.
<p>
If no facets match, the closest facet is returned.</p>
<p>In 2-d, 'd G PD2' displays the Delaunay triangulation instead
of the corresponding paraboloid. </p>
<p>Be careful of placing 'Dk' or 'dk' immediately after a real
number. Some compilers treat the 'D' as a double precision
exponent. </p>
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="PFn">PFn - keep facets whose
area is at least n</a></h3>
<p>The facets with area at least <i>n</i> are marked good for
printing. This may be useful for <a
href="qh-impre.htm#approximate">approximating a hull</a>. Unless
'<a href="#PG">PG</a>' is set, '<a href="#Pg">Pg</a>' is
automatically set. </p>
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="Pg">Pg - print good facets </a></h3>
<p>Qhull can mark facets as "good". This is used to</p>
<ul>
<li>mark the lower convex hull for Delaunay triangulations
and Voronoi diagrams</li>
<li>mark the facets that are visible from a point (the '<a
href="qh-optq.htm#QGn">QGn </a>' option)</li>
<li>mark the facets that contain a point (the '<a
href="qh-optq.htm#QVn">QVn</a>' option).</li>
<li>indicate facets with a large enough area (options '<a
href="#PAn">PAn</a>' and '<a href="#PFn">PFn</a>')</li>
</ul>
<p>Option '<a href="#Pg">Pg</a>' only prints good facets that
also meet '<a href="#Pdk">Pdk</a>' and '<a href="#PDk">PDk</a>'
options. It is automatically set for options '<a href="#PAn">PAn</a>',
'<a href="#PFn">PFn </a>', '<a href="qh-optq.htm#QGn">QGn</a>',
and '<a href="qh-optq.htm#QVn">QVn</a>'.</p>
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="PG">PG - print neighbors of
good facets</a></h3>
<p>Option 'PG' can be used with or without option '<a href="#Pg">Pg</a>'
to print the neighbors of good facets. For example, options '<a
href="qh-optq.htm#QGn">QGn</a>' and '<a href="qh-optq.htm#QVn">QVn</a>'
print the horizon facets for point <i>n. </i></p>
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="PMn">PMn - keep n facets with
most merges</a></h3>
<p>The n facets with the most merges are marked good for
printing. This may be useful for <a
href="qh-impre.htm#approximate">approximating a hull</a>. Unless
'<a href="#PG">PG</a>' is set, '<a href="#Pg">Pg</a>' is
automatically set. </p>
<p>Use option '<a href="qh-optf.htm#Fm">Fm</a>' to print merges
per facet.
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="Po">Po - force output despite
precision problems</a></h3>
<p>Use options 'Po' and '<a href="qh-optq.htm#Q0">Q0</a>' if you
can not merge facets, triangulate the output ('<a href="qh-optq.htm#Qt">Qt</a>'),
or joggle the input (<a href="qh-optq.htm#QJn">QJ</a>).
<p>Option 'Po' can not force output when
duplicate ridges or duplicate facets occur. It may produce
erroneous results. For these reasons, merged facets, joggled input, or <a
href="qh-impre.htm#exact">exact arithmetic</a> are better.</p>
<p>If you need a simplicial Delaunay triangulation, use
joggled input '<a href="qh-optq.htm#QJn">QJ</a>' or triangulated
output '<a
href="qh-optf.htm#Ft">Ft</a>'.
<p>Option 'Po' may be used without '<a href="qh-optq.htm#Q0">Q0</a>'
to remove some steps from Qhull or to output the neighborhood of
an error.</p>
<p>Option 'Po' may be used with option '<a href="qh-optq.htm#Q5">Q5</a>')
to skip qh_check_maxout (i.e., do not determine the maximum outside distance).
This can save a significant amount of time.
<p>If option 'Po' is used,</p>
<ul>
<li>most precision errors allow Qhull to continue. </li>
<li>verify ('<a href="qh-optt.htm#Tv">Tv</a>') does not check
coplanar points.</li>
<li>points are not partitioned into flipped facets and a
flipped facet is always visible to a point. This may
delete flipped facets from the output. </li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="Po2">Po - if error, output
neighborhood of facet</a></h3>
<p>If an error occurs before the completion of Qhull and tracing
is not active, 'Po' outputs a neighborhood of the erroneous
facets (if any). It uses the current output options.</p>
<p>See '<a href="qh-optp.htm#Po">Po</a>' - force output despite
precision problems.
<h3><a href="#print">»</a><a name="Pp">Pp - do not report
precision problems </a></h3>
<p>With option 'Pp', Qhull does not print statistics about
precision problems, and it removes some of the warnings. It
removes the narrow hull warning.</p>
