I have a polygon having a linearRing boundary which is parsed from citygml. Using citygml4j library, I got all 3d postions of the linearRing.
From these positions, anyone who knows how can i parse them into triangles to build a custom meshe (like this https://wiki.jmonkeyengine.org/legacy/doku.php/jme3:advanced:custom_meshes ) ?
Remember that these positions are located in the boundary of the polygon, does not inside the polygon.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Do i need some methods “Polygon triangulation” to do it ?
In computational geometry, polygon triangulation is the decomposition of a polygonal area (simple polygon) P into a set of triangles, i.e., finding a set of triangles with pairwise non-intersecting interiors whose union is P.
Triangulations may be viewed as special cases of planar straight-line graphs. When there are no holes or added points, triangulations form maximal outerplanar graphs.
Over time, a number of algorithms have been proposed to triangulate a polygon.
It is trivial to triangula...
If yes, which method is best suit ? any one who know library name or java code example to do it ? Thanks for any reponse.

Do your polygons have holes? In the end it sort of depends on your skill level for implementing the algorithm. I don’t know if anyone has posted a general polygon triangulation yet.
In the end it’s just a matter of simplicity to code versus performance requirements. I think the ear clipping method could be pretty simple and pretty fast, though.
Tks for your reponse quickly. No, my polygon has not any holes. They’re simple polygons. I have heard about clipping method.
I google a source like this

I try it firstly.
Finally, i got it. I used library QuickHull3D (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lloyd/java/quickhull3d.html ) to triangles all vertices and it works.
