Much appreciated Ferhat! This works like a charm. I am kind of 
surprised that it does, as I expected dvector to need the same 
treatment. Excellent support by the way, thanks!

Off topick, the original js implementation is documented to not 
generate results that are guaranteed to be correct. I could not 
find information on what the conditions are that cause 
deviations, and how large these then can be. Do you have an idea 
about this or experience with accuracy of the algorithm? I am 
looking into whether earcutd can replace GLU tesselation. We use 
the result for engineering purposes (not only visualisation) and 
correctness is important to us.

Thanks!
Bastiaan.
