Triangula uses a modified genetic algorithm to triangulate or polygonate images. It works best with images smaller than 3000px and with fewer than 3000 points, typically producing an optimal result within a couple of minutes. For a full explanation of the algorithm, see this page in the wiki.

Your PATH variable also needs to include your go/bin directory, which is ~/go/bin on macOS, $GOPATH/bin on Linux, and c:\Go\bin on Windows.

For almost all cases, only changing the number of points and leaving all other options with their default values will generate an optimal result.

esimov/triangle seems to be a similar project to Triangula that is also written in Go. However, the two appear to generate very different styles. One big advantage of triangle is that it generates an image almost instantaneously, while Triangula needs to run many iterations.

A lot of people have commented about Triangula's similarities to these other algorithms. While all these algorithms are iterative algorithms, the main difference is that in the other algorithms triangles can overlap while Triangula generates a triangulation.
