Hello everyone:<br>
I am just wondering if someone knows the algorithm of vtkDecimate
or<br>
vtkDecimatePro? Where can I find detailed information about
it?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
<br>
Hope you guys have a nice weekend!<br>

Also find Garland & Heckbert's algorithm, which I think is the best
and (not yet) implemented in VTK:<br>
