triangulateSimplestSpaceLoop MethodStatic

  • Emit triangles for a (possibly non-planar) loop for various simple cases:
    • only 3 points: just emit that triangle.
    • only 4 points: split across a diagonal, choosing the one with better aspect ratios of its two triangles.
  • BUT
    • do not complete the triangulation if perimeter is larger than maxPerimeter (i.e. only consider small areas)
  • Hence it is expected that the caller will use this as the first attempt, possibly followed by calls to other more adventurous methods.
