## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{T} =} delaunayn (@var{pts}, @var{options})
## Compute the Delaunay triangulation for an N-dimensional set of points.
## The Delaunay triangulation is a tessellation of the convex hull of a set
## of points such that no N-sphere defined by the N-triangles contains
## any other points from the set.
##
## The input matrix @var{pts} of size [n, dim] contains n points in a space of
## dimension dim.  The return matrix @var{T} has size [m, dim+1].  Each row
## of @var{T} contains a set of indices back into the original set of points
## @var{pts} which describes a simplex of dimension dim.  For example, a 2-D
## simplex is a triangle and 3-D simplex is a tetrahedron.
##
## An optional second argument, which must be a string or cell array of strings,
## contains options passed to the underlying qhull command.
## See the documentation for the Qhull library for details
## @url{http://www.qhull.org/html/qh-quick.htm#options}.
## The default options depend on the dimension of the input:
##
## @itemize
## @item 2-D and 3-D: @var{options} = @code{@{"Qt", "Qbb", "Qc", "Qz"@}}
##
## @item 4-D and higher: @var{options} = @code{@{"Qt", "Qbb", "Qc", "Qx"@}}
## @end itemize
##
## If @var{options} is not present or @code{[]} then the default arguments are
## used.  Otherwise, @var{options} replaces the default argument list.
## To append user options to the defaults it is necessary to repeat the
## default arguments in @var{options}.  Use a null string to pass no arguments.

  ## Try to remove the zero volume simplices.  The volume of the i-th simplex is
  ## given by abs(det(pts(T(i,1:end-1),:)-pts(T(i,2:end),:)))/prod(1:n)
  ## (reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex).  Any simplex with a
  ## relative volume less than some arbitrary criteria is rejected.  The
  ## criteria we use is the volume of the simplex corresponding to an
  ## orthogonal simplex is equal edge length all equal to the edge length of
  ## the original simplex.  If the relative volume is 1e3*eps then the simplex
  ## is rejected.  Note division of the two volumes means that the factor
  ## prod(1:n) is dropped.
