Examples of Triangulation

Delauney triangulation of many points in xy plane

25 points
compute convex hull of points: Point3d[]	const hull: Point3d[] = []; const interior: Point3d[] = []; Point3dArray.computeConvexHullXY(points, hull, interior, true);
One step points: Point3d[] to Polyface	const polyface = PolyfaceBuilder.pointsToTriangulatedPolyface(points);
IndexedPolyface with all the points triangulated.

Unit Test

Triangulate points "between linestrings"

4 and 6 sided polygons
Same polygons displayed with <br>handles to indicate the two linestrings have edge subdivision mismatch <br> in addition to the different cornering angles
triangles constructed "between" the polygons
Same polygons, another mix of points along edges
triangles constructed "between" the polygons
