[x3d-public] JavaScript tessellation/triangulation open source code wanted.

[John Carlson]

Anyone care to rewrite this in JavaScript, if not done by X_ITE or X3DOM?

https://github.com/FashGek/chazelle-triangulation

Note: This algorithm is notoriously hard to implement!

Looking for some good tessellation/triangulation scripts in JavaScript!

I'm looking for something to use to output STL, so perhaps WebGL is not 
indicated?  Is there WebGL for Node.js?

I'm looking at the gl module: https://github.com/stackgl/headless-gl

Is there a WebGL driver for STL?

Maybe I should go run to help Three.js on Linux?  Their examples aren't 
showing up for some reason on Firefox/Linux.  Confirmation on other 
platforms desired.

Works fine on Chrome:
