I am trying to avoid doing different code in swift. I already found a good library in java
https://github.com/ChristianLutz/gpcj
I was wondering if anybody has used a related library like that in Swift?
I only wish to draw the convex hull of the typhoon path in maps
Thoughts?
GPCJ is a Java port of Alan Murta's GPC, which is in C. The C GPC code is still available though not from the original site. Calling that C code from Swift should not be difficult.

But:
I only wish to draw the convex hull of the typhoon path in maps
Well you don't want a polygon clipper, you want a convex hull algorithm!
I would consider using the version in Boost.Geometry (C++), with a suitable wrapper.
Beware, it is easy to write a bad convex hull implementation due to the numerical stability issues.
