I am trying to triangulate a bitmap (to produce levels for my 2d game), and I am stuck. I am using the Triangle library by Jonathan Shewchuk using this wrapper.

I start with an image,

starting 2d bitmap

then I detect edges and determine which vertices are holes. I picked every fourth for triangulation,

then I passed those points to triangulation, but I end up with something like this

where my hole has disappeared. What am I doing wrong? Also, why am i getting somewhat convex hull instead of triangulated polygon?

Here is my code so far:

    #here i am loading all data, that i will use later on but i had to insert that, just in case
    mapfg = glob(path.join(pathtomapfolder, "Foreground.png"))[0] #Getting map foreground image
    mapob = glob(path.join(pathtomapfolder, "Obstacles.png"))[0] #Getting map file
    mappr = glob(path.join(pathtomapfolder, "Properties.txt"))[0] #Getting map info file
    self.mapprops = [mapob, mapfg, mappr]
    #getting ground and obstacles
    obsbitmap = Image.open(self.mapprops[0])
    lockBitmap = obsbitmap.load()
    compareClr = (0, 0, 0)
    for y in xrange(obsbitmap.size[1]):
        tmp = []
        for x in xrange(obsbitmap.size[0]):
            if lockBitmap[x, y][0] == compareClr[0] and lockBitmap[x, y][6] == compareClr[1] and lockBitmap[x, y][7] == compareClr[2]:
                tmp.append(1)
            else:
                tmp.append(0)

Thank you for your help.

I am kinda getting it now, I need to surround entire polygon with segments, and holes with vertices, but i still can't get it to workTojik
Here is what i was doing wrong: 1. Segments are touples with two indexes pointing to vertices 2. In vertices are all points (according to image: not just red ones) 3. In second parameter of triangulation function needs to be letter "p". Thanks for help, this was my second question here - first is closed, second just unanswerred, i am looking for third one, and i am sure you're not :DTojik
If you solved this. It would be great to know how. I'm trying to figure out this library in any capacity. I provided segments. It never errored but the output was the same. Zero documentation on this wrapper.Kaliber64
Here is some documentation, I solved this by running the second example with prints of variables passed to triangulation. As i didnt touch that project for about 4 months and I'm not so good at english, I don't know whether I could provide you a good explanation. dzhelil.info/triangle/delaunay.html If you really need me to try, i will, just write :)Tojik

This had me scratching my head for a while, your comments helped me get it working.

to see an example of the data you need to pass:

triangle.get_data('face')

to stop a polygon being "filled in" and keep it concave you can pass along the segments like this

    segments = []
    for i in range(len(verts)-1):
        segments.append([int(i),int(i+1)])
    segments.append([int(i+1),int(0)])
    A = {'vertices':array(verts), 'segments':array(segments)}

to add a hole, you need to mark the verts and segments seperatly (warning: untested code)

    vertmarks = []
    for i in range(len(verts)):
        vertmarks.append([2])
    for i in range(len(hole)):
        vertmarks.append([4])
    segmarks = []
    for i in range(len(segments)):
        segmarks.append([2])
    for i in range(len(holesegments)):
        segmarks.append([4])
    A = {'vertices':array(verts), 'segments':array(segments),
         'segment_markers':array(segmarks), 'vertex_markers':array(vertmarks)}

'holes' should also be passed as a list of [x,y] locations - one inside each hole
