The sweepline algorithm has been modified to triangulate a set of nodes on a non‐convex domain. The new method is based on a fragile sweepline which is split and rejoined in a manner which ensures that boundaries are preserved. Both the original and the modified algorithms are introduced using simple examples. It is shown that a set of N nodes is triangulated in O ( N log N ) time. The validity of the new method has been confirmed through testing on a variety of problems, and two test cases are presented in this paper.
