How map engines turn polylines into triangles or pixels of the right width (where the width lives, vertex layout, joins and caps, edge antialiasing, distance along the line for dashes, clipping and tile seams, vertex reduction before stroking), with what they measured and what they reverted. Load it when a map-from-scratch request draws roads, borders, routes, tracks, contours or any stroke wider than a hairline, before writing the line part of `bake.ts` or the line shader, or when lines…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Line tessellation: from a polyline to a stroke of the right width

A polyline has no width. To draw it, a renderer must choose where the width
is applied (in the data, on the CPU at each zoom, or in the vertex shader),
how corners and ends are filled, how edges are antialiased, where distance
along the line comes from (dashes, gradients), and what happens where the
line is cut by a tile or the viewport. General engines answer all of these at
run time for any style; most of their line code handles widths, joins, dashes
and offsets that a given map never uses. A renderer made for one request
knows the widths, the zoom range and the style, so most of the work and many
of the failure modes can be settled at bake time. This repo already draws
lines two ways: 1 px borders with `gl.LINES` (02) and a road network as
instanced 4-vertex strips widened in the vertex shader, with square caps
hiding the joints, one draw call, 1.2 M segments in 1.1 ms p95 (05) [117].
Read this before going beyond that.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yuiseki/map-from-scratch/line-tessellation@sha256:6971715181adf0ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.5cc6631, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
