We present C{\tt ++}-implementations of some classical algorithms for computing extreme points of a set of points in two-dimensional space. The template feature of C{\tt ++} is used to provide generic code, that works with various point types and various implementations of the primitives used in the extreme point computation. The parameterization makes the code flexible and adaptable. The code can be used with primitives provided by the CGAL-kernel, primitives provided by LEDA, and others. The interfaces of the convex hull functions are compliant to the Standard Template Library.
