Yeah, I was actually thinking the best thing would be to paste your
ldraw triangle generator code right into the output code of autotrace.
About a year ago I hacked
a cheesy ldr output into autotrace, but it
only does edge lines. I think we had some ideas about treating each
color as the foreground and then adding up all the forgrounds to make
the holes for the background. Or something like that.

This sounds similar to a past effort of mine called ldeco meant to help
create decorated elements. It triangularized contours with colored seed
points - see http://www.visi.com/~demlow/lego/ldeco/ for a brief
description (the page is very incomplete, I never got any further with
“publishing” it). The core code used is Jonathan Shewchuk’s Triangle library
from http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html. That may be of interest
for what you’re considering.

Yeah, it sounds quite similar. Rosco’s tx2dat program also uses the
Shewchuk triangle library. Do ya think maybe it’s about time to finish
“publishing” your ldeco utility? I did a quick search and apparently
you first promised to make it available approximately...
FIVE YEARS AGO! Holy cow,
time flies, eh? I mean, how much time does it take to zip up the source
code and turn the word “Download” into a link? ;^)
Have fun,
Don
