New method triangulates 3.7 million map polygons in 489 ms
Original: Faster than earcut: triangulating 3.7M map polygons in 489 ms
A developer at Globus Software has published a polygon triangulation method that processed 3.7 million map polygons in 489 milliseconds, described as faster than the widely used earcut library. The write-up walks through the technique and benchmarks. Engineers working on maps and rendering are weighing the performance claims and what it means for existing tooling.
Why now: A claimed performance improvement over earcut, a widely used library, naturally draws attention from graphics and mapping developers.
