Hi, there is no algorithm that "quadrangulates" a given 2d set of points, because it would be hard to "quadrangulates" five points ... You can try to glue adjacent triangles along the longest common edge but it would be complicated Regards Jens "Borut Levart" <BoLe79 at gmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:durker$lqr$1 at smc.vnet.net... | First I apologize for this post is not completely Mathematica-related, | but I am positive some of you might really help me. | | DelaunayTriangulation under Mathematica triangulates a 2d set of | points.
