=== Description
-The +generate-alpha-shape+ command provides a way to generate a "concave hull" for a set of points. Specifically, it reads data from
-one input, calculates the alpha shape and writes the resulting multipolygon to output. This is most useful when seeding the
-+cookie-cut+ command. The degree of the concaveness is determined by the alpha parameters. A small alpha parameter creates a
-shape with a large number of holes and concave sections. A large alpha value creates a shape closer to a convex hull. An alpha
-value equal to the maximum distance between any two points in the data or larger will create a convex hull. Additional details

There is a brief PowerPoint available on the subject
