Steve, you gave me an idea, hehe!

:D  I was *hoping* someone would pick up on this. ;)

Here's my first pre-embryo of an LDDP plugin:

So far, it is anything but impressive. It can only handle the LDS LINE
command, and without any error check at all.

I don't have time to look right this second, but I will check it soon.

But you want a filled polygon if I get you right?

Right.

So, how do you want the input syntax and, more important, the output?

The input would be a color and a list of points.

The output would be a list of LDraw triangle commands.

Should the program look for the centre of the polygon and make pieslices
from it or just draw triangles from existing points?

Hmm.  Assuming the polygons are allowed to be concave, you might have to
start with drawing triangles from existing points.  And drawing with
existing points will result in fewer triangles, won't it?
