Triangulation as a triangle strip

[darkfrei]

Hi all!

Is here an easy way to do the triangle strip from polygon?


In this way you can store all polygons just like one Löve's "line". Such as triangles:
1-2-3, 2-3-4, 3-4-5, 4-5-6, 5-6-7 etc.

The standard polygon triangulation, what I have and what I've expected:

Hi all!

Hello!

Not sure, but my gut feeling is that no, there is no easy way to do it from ANY polygon.
I don't think it's even possible to create a triangle strip for ANY concave polygon either.
It could be done with relatively easy math if you have a "path" or a "polyline" (if you planning to do something like a "stroke" function).

How would you convert this polygon to a triangle strip without adding vertices?

Edit: Never mind, I saw how.

what about this one?

what about this one?

You can use degenerate triangles

The degenerate triangles effectively introduce discontinuities or "jumps" to the strip.
