Hi Roman,
thanks for the reply. As you suggested I looked into vtk meshing
possibilities, and I ended up using
vtkPolygon::NonDegenerateTriangulate(). I will merge my vmtk
extensions into vmtk when it's been tested properly. Attached is an
image of the result for the curious. Notice the hole in the middle,
which is a canal going through to the other side.
