TriangleStrip

Description¶

Java Program to display a triangle Strip.

The triangle strip is a composite two-dimensional cell consisting of one or more triangles. The points defining the triangle strip need not lie in a plane. The triangle strip is defined by an ordered list of n+2 points, where n is the number of triangles. The ordering of the points is such that each set of three points defines a triangle.
