I would like to get a copy of that code for research
if nothing else.

That paper is pure gold. Now I need to track down
copies of papers cited in the reference section...

If you or anyone else has links or copies of papers in
this vein, please send them my way.

We really should seriously consider a streaming model
for the TIN library. If this library is intended to be
decoupled from OpenJUMP and used in multiple JavaGIS
projects, then dealing with huge data sets that dwarf
available RAM would be a very big plus.

I have more on the subject, but I’ll save that for the
previously linked wiki.
