The notion of convexity translates non-trivially from Euclidean geometry to discrete
geometry, and detecting if a discrete region of the plane is convex requires analysis. In this
paper we study digital convexity from the combinatorics on words point of view, and provide
a fast optimal algorithm checking digital convexity of polyominoes coded by the contour
word. The result is based on the Lyndon factorization of the contour word, and the
recognition of Christoffel factors that are approximations of digital lines.
