Java 3D provides a com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.Stripifier utility class which
can reorder the vertices in a GeometryInfo object into StripArray node
components which share vertex data between adjacent triangles.
(GeometryInfo utility objects can be created from the standard GeometryArray
node components supported by the core Java 3D API. The GeometryInfo class
is an intermediate representation needed to carry persistent information
between the various utilities supported by the com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry
package.)
