Dear R helpers,

I try to use the 'delaunayn' function in the 'geometry' package for Delaunay triangulation in 2 dimensions.

For the four following points, I get a warning message :

> coord=matrix(ncol=2,byrow=TRUE,c(622633,7073452,
+                                  621228,7073517,
+                                  621879,7071762,
+                                  621065,7073331))
> library(geometry)
>
> test=delaunayn(coord,options="Qbb")

qhull precision warning:

The initial hull is narrow (cosine of min. angle is 0.9999999999999999).
Is the input lower dimensional (e.g., on a plane in 3-d)?  Qhull may
produce a wide facet.  Options 'QbB' (scale to unit box) or 'Qbb' (scale
last coordinate) may remove this warning. Use 'Pp' to skip this warning. See 'Limitations' in qh-impre.htm.

I read carefully qh-impre.htm and I still do not understand why I get this message. A simple call to plot(coord) shows that the points are not aligned, nor very close.

What did I miss?

Thanking you in advance,
