> This method is currently quite slow and in many cases does more work than is required. The speed actually directly impacts queries (tree traversal) and bounds grid size to something tiny making it less effective.
> I think we should replace it line intersections based on orientation methods described here http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jrs/meshpapers/robnotes.pdf and https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/robust.html
> For one, a naive implementation is considerably faster than the method today: both because it reduces the cost of BKD tree traversals and also because it makes grid construction cheaper. This means we can increase its level of detail with similar or lower startup cost. Now its more like a Mario Brothers 2 picture of your polygon instead of Space Invaders.

> But I also like using this method because its possible to extend it to remove floating point error completely in the future with techniques described in those links. This may be necessary if we want to do smarter things (e.g. not linear time).
