/**
 * Triangulate an outline.
 *
 * @param vertices A flat array of vertice coordinates like [x0,y0, x1,y1, x2,y2, ...].
 * @param holes An array of hole indices if any (e.g. [5, 8] for a 12-vertice input would mean one hole with vertices 5–7 and another with 8–11).
 * @param dimensions The number of coordinates per vertice in the input array (2 by default).
 * @return A flat array with each group of three numbers indexing a triangle in the `vertices` array.
 * @example earcut([10,0, 0,50, 60,60, 70,10]); // returns [1,0,3, 3,2,1]
 * @example with a hole: earcut([0,0, 100,0, 100,100, 0,100,  20,20, 80,20, 80,80, 20,80], [4]); // [3,0,4, 5,4,0, 3,4,7, 5,0,1, 2,3,7, 6,5,1, 2,7,6, 6,1,2]
 * @example with 3d coords: earcut([10,0,1, 0,50,2, 60,60,3, 70,10,4], null, 3); // [1,0,3, 3,2,1]

/**
 * Transforms multi-dimensional array (e.g. GeoJSON Polygon) into the format expected by earcut.
 * @example Transforming GeoJSON data.
 *     const data = earcut.flatten(geojson.geometry.coordinates);
 *     const triangles = earcut(data.vertices, data.holes, data.dimensions);
 * @example Transforming simple triangle with hole:
 *     const data = earcut.flatten([[[0, 0], [100, 0], [0, 100]], [[10, 10], [0, 10], [10, 0]]]);
 *     const triangles = earcut(data.vertices, data.holes, data.dimensions);
 * @param data Arrays of rings, with the first being the outline and the rest holes. A ring is an array points, each point being an array of numbers.

/**
 * Returns the relative difference between the total area of triangles and the area of the input polygon. 0 means the triangulation is fully correct.
 * Used to verify correctness of triangulation
 * @param vertices same as earcut
 * @param holes same as earcut
 * @param dimensions same as earcut
 * @param triangles see return value of earcut
 * @example
 *     const triangles = earcut(vertices, holes, dimensions);
 *     const deviation = earcut.deviation(vertices, holes, dimensions, triangles);
