triangle VS shapeme

For example, I've been using a library to make my wallpapers look triangly, and I have it spitting out "(original pic)_tri.png" for everything in my wallpapers dirs.

For all of the supported features and for a better description head over to the project page: https://github.com/esimov/triangle

For low-poly art, I wonder if there could be a way to only triangulate a specific area. (eg. only the pet and not the background)

Also, if you need something less aliased, check out Triangle [1], a similar and awesome tool!

This reminds me of a project I found by Antirez (the creator of Redis) recently called shapeme: https://github.com/antirez/shapeme - which uses simulated annealing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing to approximate an image using triangles. It took me down a really interesting rabbit hole: "The name of the algorithm comes from annealing in metallurgy, a technique involving heating and controlled cooling of a material to increase the size of its crystals and reduce their defects."

I thought it was really interesting that a useful algorithm like this was created and possibly influenced by a natural process. I wonder if this repo uses the same type of algorithm?
