I would like to triangulate a surface that looks like a pringle (a parabolloid hyperbolib).

I was able to create a variable number of points on the curve, then to draw straight lines going from those points to the center of the surface.

But my problem now is that I’d like to draw triangles between two consecutive lines, and I don’t now how to do this.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks!
