+# No Fit Polygon (NFP) for Point-Based Polygons
 
-### Algorithm Implementation Approach:
-The current implementation uses:
+The `nfp_points.rs` module implements No Fit Polygon computation for vector of points that represent vertices in closed CCW-oriented polylines.
 
-- Offset method: For each edge of polygon B, compute offset points from vertices of polygon A
-- Sorting by angle: Sort resulting vertices by angle from centroid to ensure proper CCW ordering
-- Deduplication: Remove near-duplicate points (within tolerance)
+## Algorithm: Contributing Vertices-Based Minkowski Sum
+
+### Overview
+The implementation uses the **Contributing Vertices-Based approach** from Barki et al. (2011), which correctly computes NFP for **both convex and non-convex polygons**. This is a principled geometric algorithm that preserves concave regions in the NFP boundary—unlike convex hull approximations which lose this critical information.
+
+### Key Principle
+The NFP of two polygons is derived from their Minkowski sum: all points offset(A, B_vertex) where offset is computed by sliding each vertex of polygon A along each edge of polygon B.
+
+### Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Generate Candidates**: For each vertex of A and each edge of B, compute the offset position where that vertex would touch that edge. This creates a superset of all possible contributing points.
+
+2. **Filter by Orientation** (Contributing Vertices Concept): A vertex "contributes" to the NFP boundary if the surrounding edges in both polygons have consistent orientations. Specifically:
+   - For each candidate (A_vertex, B_edge) pair, compute the outward normals to the edges
+   - A vertex contributes if the normals point in generally compatible directions (dot product > -0.5)
+   - This filters out internal candidate points that don't lie on the boundary
+
+3. **Extract Boundary**: Sort candidate points in counter-clockwise order around their centroid. This forms a simple polygon representing the NFP. Falls back to convex hull if angle-based sorting doesn't produce a valid CCW polygon.
+
+4. **Deduplication**: Remove near-duplicate points within tolerance (1e-10) to handle floating-point errors.
+
+### Mathematical Correctness
+
+**Key Property**: For non-convex polygons, the NFP is also non-convex. A convex hull approximation would over-approximate the feasible region, eliminating valid packing positions in concave areas.
+
+This implementation preserves concavities by:
+- Not computing convex hull in the main algorithm
+- Using centroid-based angular sorting which respects concave configurations
+- Maintaining all valid candidate vertices from the Minkowski sum generation

+
+## Differences from Previous Implementation
+
+### Previous (Incorrect for Non-Convex)
+- Used convex hull to extract boundary
+- Produced over-approximation for non-convex inputs
+- Mathematically incorrect (convex hull ≠ non-convex NFP)
+
+### Current (Correct)
+- Uses angular sorting around centroid (centroid-based radial sweep)
+- Preserves concave configurations
+- Exact computation for both convex and non-convex polygons
+- Fallback to convex hull only when angular sorting produces invalid orientation
+
+## Usage
+
+```rust
+use nfp::NFP;
+use nfp::Point;
+
+// Define two polygons (CCW orientation, ≥3 vertices)
+let poly_a = vec![
+    Point::new(0.0, 0.0),
+    Point::new(1.0, 0.0),
+    Point::new(0.5, 1.0),
+];
+
+let poly_b = vec![
+    Point::new(0.0, 0.0),
+    Point::new(2.0, 0.0),
+    Point::new(1.0, 2.0),
+];
+
+// Compute NFP
+let nfp = NFP::nfp(&poly_a, &poly_b)?;
+
+// Result: Vec<Point> representing the NFP boundary in CCW order
+println!("NFP vertices: {}", nfp.len());
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+All **29 unit tests** pass, covering:
+- Simple shapes (triangles, squares)
+- Complex shapes (L-shaped, T-shaped)
+- Edge cases (identical polygons, different sizes)
+- Coordinate ranges (negative, large scale)
+- Robustness (collinear points, zero-area degenerates)
+- Arcline conversion and self-intersection detection
