Class EarClippingTriangulator

java.lang.Object

com.badlogic.gdx.math.EarClippingTriangulator

public class EarClippingTriangulator
extends Object

A simple implementation of the ear cutting algorithm to triangulate simple polygons without holes. For more information:

• http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/ teaching/cg-projects/97/Ian/algorithm2.html
• http://www.geometrictools.com/Documentation /TriangulationByEarClipping.pdf

If the input polygon is not simple (self-intersects), there will be output but it is of unspecified quality (garbage in, garbage out).

Triangulates the given (convex or concave) simple polygon to a list of triangle vertices.

Parameters:

vertices - pairs describing vertices of the polygon, in either clockwise or counterclockwise order.

Returns:

triples of triangle indices in clockwise order. Note the returned array is reused for later calls to the same method.
