The returned convex hull is represented as an array containing a subset of the input vertices, arranged in counterclockwise order (for consistency with [polygon.clip](Polygon-Geom#clip)). Assumes the *vertices* array is greater than three in length. If *vertices* is of length <= 3, returns []. <a name="x" href="Hull-Geom#x">#</a> hull.<b>x</b>([<i>x</i>]) If *x* is specified, sets the x-coordinate accessor. If *x* is not specified, returns the current x-coordinate accessor, which defaults to: ```js function(d) { return d[0]; } ``` <a name="y" href="Hull-Geom#y">#</a> hull.<b>y</b>([<i>y</i>]) If *y* is specified, sets the y-coordinate accessor. If *y* is not specified, returns the current y-coordinate accessor, which defaults to: ```js function(d) { return d[1]; } ```
