I'm looking for an algorithm to merge two polygons into one "outline" polygon.

Rather than sitting down and hacking out the algorithm (which will end up
being a variation on Weiler polygon-clipping algorithm), I was wondering
if anyone has already done that, or, at least, knows of a reference?

Thanks,

Larry
