Several papers have been written at Stony Brook on the efficient generation of triangle strips:

• A technical sketch on STRIPE that was presented at SIGGRAPH '96 ( .txt )
• A paper on STRIPE and other triangle strip algorithms that we developed which were presented at Visualization '96 ( .ps .pdf )
• A computational geometry paper on Hamiltonian triangulations and triangle strips ( .ps .pdf )
• A technical report on triangle strips, STRIPE and including a proof that it is NP-complete to find an optimal sequential triangulation ( .ps .pdf )
