minimum bounding box for a convex polygon

[Dickinson, John]

If you want an axis-orientated bounding box that will work and is very easy
to do.  If not then search for orientated bounding box algorithms on the
net.  S.  Gottschalk implemented a 3D orientated bounding box algorithm see
the following paper. and his site: http://www.cs.unc.edu/~geom/OBB/OBBT.html

That's easy:
update after reading every point the Xmax,Xmin, Ymax and Ymin for your given
set.
After reading all your points this coordinates define your bounding box.
