Surface triangulation

Triangulation of a surface means This article describes the generation of a net of triangles.

However, the triangles may vary in shape and extension in object space, posing a potential drawback.

This can be minimized through adaptive methods that consider step width while triangulating the parameter area.

To triangulate an implicit surface (defined by one or more equations) is more difficult.

An advantage of the marching method is the possibility to prescribe boundaries (see picture).
