I added a couple of images to the JTS PR:
https://github.com/locationtech/jts/pull/775

Blog post coming soon.

This triangulation implementation uses Ear-Clipping, so is only usable on
polygons.  It would be nice to have an implementation for Constrained
Delaunay on linear inputs.  The Tri data structure is a good way of
constructing and representing this, so maybe that can have soon (perhaps
via use of Chew's algorithm).  It's also worth noting that another reason
for creating the Tri data structure is to make it easier to implement
concave hull algorithms, which hopefully will also appear soon.
