vtk_triangulate_points

[pemn]

A standalone tool to create simplified/lighweight surfaces from dense point cloud data. Its best use cases are very large datasets where traditional methods such as delaunay are not viable. This functionality is rare even in proprietary software packages, and even then usually requires multiple steps to achieve this kind of result.

Looks cool. Can you add two sections to the README.md

• Installation
• Getting started (show how to start up and run through something simple at least)

In the current state, I looked at it quickly and didn't see those standard parts of documentation.

Added a Installation section to the readme, with modules required and that no special steps are required. Only download and run in any python enviroment.
