Is it possible to generate a conforming Delaunay triangulation mesh from the outlines, i.e. segments of a character by using this package?

Hi, I come here from the mesh2d matlab project. I am currently working on a project that deals with shapes of alphabets. One problem that I have is how to get the triangulation of a character with only coordinates of its contour. The problem collapses to the constrained Delaunay triangulaton of a polygon with multiple holes inside (e.g. the alphabet B). So I wonder if there is a way to generate such a thing with this nice package?

@novrain99 it should be possible to build triangulations that respect contours by setting:

• geom_feat = true (capture any sharp features in a polyline)
• mesh_top1 = true (recover the topology of the 1-dimensional manifolds)

Is this what you're looking for?
Jigsaw is designed to build 'restricted' triangulations (which are useful in the approximation of curved geometries) rather than the so-called constrained Delaunay triangulation, so may insert additional vertices on the contour. The result will be a conforming mesh in which all cells are strictly Delaunay.
