Pattern from triangulation
From triangulation
Follow the instructions in the command window, choose outer boundary, inner boundaries and constraint curves. For the last step enter a target triangle edge length. Triangulated force pattern will be generated.
outer boundary is a closed polycurve that represents the outline of the diagram.
inner boundaries are openings of the intended design pattern.
constraint curves are where the vertices and edges will be forced to snapped onto.
Triangulation is a method that is fast and robust for creating a Pattern from a set of complex boundary features. However, triangulated patterns have no clear direction or hierarchy of the edges, which make it difficult to interact with (for example, if you wanted to attract forces using the force diagram).
