[Algorithms] Create any polygon with triangles

Hi, does anybody know an algorithm to create any wanted polygon with triangles?

Example: I have a rectangle defined by its edges and I want to create that rectangle with triangles.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Don't know if that (http://www.cs.unc.edu/~dm/CODE/GEM/chapter.html) is what you want.

Yes it is, what I was looking for is called polygonal triangulation and there are hundreds of different algorithms out there (at least it seems so to me ).

Thanks für your answer!
