If I have a point layer, how can I create a polygon that includes all of the points and divide that polygon into n sections in which each section contains an equal number of points? Preferably in QGIS, but other systems are acceptable.

What do you want to happen when you have an odd number of points? – Hornbydd Sep 05 '13 at 16:03

Also when you say equal number are you looking for a maximum or minimum? For example say you have 10 points do you want 2 sections of 5 or 5 sections of 2? – Hornbydd Sep 05 '13 at 16:15

A minor variation of the solutions offered at http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/31236 will solve this problem, too. In that question the points are aggregated into rectangles. The union of those rectangles will form the polygon you want. – whuber Sep 05 '13 at 16:38
