Hi,<br>This sounds like great news.<br>As I imagine that this code sprint could be the first steps towards a 3D OpenLayers, here is an inspiring demo: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX-2XmZXRLw&feature=player_embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX-2XmZXRLw&feature=player_embedded</a> I would dream to do that with OL.<br>
Best regards and thanks for your efforts.<br>Cédric<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 11:23 AM, Tom Payne <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tom.payne@camptocamp.com" target="_blank">tom.payne@camptocamp.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Currently there is no support for triangulation in WebGL.<br>
Traditionally this functionality has been provided by the glu*Tess<br>
(e.g. gluNewTess) functions in the GLU OpenGL utility library. This<br>
library has bindings for many languages, and as such is relatively<br>
easy to use on the server side to pre-process vector data before<br>
sending it to a Javascript/WebGL client.<br>
<br>
All browsers that support WebGL also have high performance Javascript<br>
engines. Numerical code - like triangulation - tends to JIT very well.<br>
Polygons only need to be triangulated once. So, client-side<br>
triangulation in Javascript is likely to be adequate for many use<br>
cases.<br>
