I was playing around with country shapes for a while and ended up 

pulling the geoinformation data from public esri files. I have a list of 

vertices that form the shapes and I pipe them into jit.gl.sketch to draw 

polygons. the problem is, that many shapes are convex and therefore 

glbegin filled_polygon does not work correctly.

is there a way to do tesselation inside jitter? is there something like 

or maybe I am looking for a script that converts these border-outlines 

into correctly formatted triangles/triangle_fans.

I have recently done this for a project, but as far as I know there is no

quick and easy way. You'll have to roll your own Jitter ob3d external using

the glut tesselator internally. The opengl redbook as a fairly detailed

description and I also found this to be helpful:
