Drawing Blobs

["Neil" <dreaded.neil@phreaker.net>]

If I have a bunch of arbitrary points, each with a certain colour, and
these points are connected to each other somehow to form an arbitrary
object, is there a fast (accuracy isn't really important) way of drawing an
approximation of the group of points?

I was thinking of drawing a solid circle around each point with a radius
equal to the distance to the farthest point to which it is connected and
blending any overlapping circles, but I don't really like this idea. Could
someone please point me to a subject area, a web page, or some information
that might give me some ideas?
