- 1New polygon triangulation method processes 3.7 million map shapes in under half a second▼Faster than earcut: triangulating 3.7M map polygons in 489 ms
Engineers at Globus Software have described a polygon triangulation technique that processed 3.7 million map polygons in 489 milliseconds, faster than the widely used earcut algorithm. The writeup explains how the method handles the irregular, hole-riddled shapes common in map data, and it is drawing attention among developers working on mapping and rendering performance.
