  • How to triangulate simple polygons?
    Lamot, Marko ; Žalik, Borut
    Decomposition of simple polygons is one of the major tasks in the computational geometry and its applications. The most researched polygon decomposition is a polygon triangulation. Polygon ... tringulation algorithms can be classified into three groups: algorithms based on diagonal inserting, algorithms based on Delauny triangulation and algoritms using Steiner points. The paper explains the most important algorithms from each group and summarizes the common features of the groups. After that four algorithms based on diagonals insertion are compared: a recursive diagonal algorithm, an ear cutting algorithm, Kong's Graham Scan algorithm, and Siedl's randomized incremental algorithm. Attributes for comparison are: speed, the quality of output triangles and the ability of the algorithm to handle polygons with holes.
