----------------------------------------
{quote}Just for my curiosity. when creating a triangle in the tessellator
points get order. is that really needed? what is the purpose?

That can be removed. It's legacy from before the selective indexing approach
was used. It sounds like that will solve a big part of the problem
+1 for using 2^3 constants. And I also think we can continue to iterate on the
readability part in a separate patch. I don't think it should hold up the
bigger benefit of a smaller index.

> {{LatLonShape}} tessellated triangles currently use a relatively naive
> encoding with the first four dimensions as the bounding box of the triangle
> and the last three dimensions as the vertices of the triangle. To encode the
> {{x,y}} vertices in the last three dimensions requires {{bytesPerDim}} to be
> set to 8, with 4 bytes for the x & y axis, respectively. We can reduce
> {{bytesPerDim}} to 4 by encoding the index(es) of the vertices shared by the
> bounding box along with the orientation of the triangle. This also opens the
> door for supporting {{CONTAINS}} queries.
