Marching squares: Basic algorithm, Contouring triangle meshes & Performance considerations

In computer graphics, marching squares is an algorithm that generates contours for a two-dimensional scalar field (rectangular array of individual numerical values). A similar method can be used to contour 2D triangle meshes.
