mesh generation. Well, I am a bit stuck.

How can I use the medial axis to generate a mesh? I know that the medial
axis transform can be used to represent the object itself but how does
this help in mesh generation?

Is your object in 2D or 3D? What "mesh" do you have in mind?
If the object is in 2D, do you want a triangle mesh that approximates
the object itself? If the object is in 3D, do you want a tetrahedron
mesh to approximate the object or a triangle mesh to approximate
the boundary of the object?
