Polygonizer

Okay, so imagine you have a bunch of dots on a piece of paper. Each dot is a point, and you can connect those points with lines to make a shape, right?

Now, what if you have a lot of points - like, a LOT? It would take a really long time to connect all those dots by hand!

That's where a polygonizer comes in. It's like a magic machine that can take all those points and turn them into a shape with lines already connected.

But it's not just any shape - it has to be a special kind of shape called a polygon. Polygons only have straight lines and don't cross over themselves.

So the polygonizer takes all the points and figures out which ones should be connected with straight lines to make polygons. Then it puts all those polygons together to make a bigger shape.

That bigger shape can be things like 3D models for video games or maps for GIS systems. And it all starts with a bunch of points and a polygonizer to connect them!
