Creates a polygon out of one or more contours of 3D points, given by c.
The 3D points are projected onto a plane (given by p), afterwards the resulting 2D contours are triangulated, and finally the triangles are mapped back into 3D again.
p is also used for deciding which sides of the triangles are the front sides, and for defining a parametrization of the polygon plane (can be used as 2D texture coordinates).
c is a typeless node to which the contours (lists of 3D points) are connected. p is a typeless node to which 3 points A, B, C are connected. A is used as the origin of the polygon plane, B-A and C-A as the two basis vectors, and the orientation of the cross product (B-A) x (C-A) determines which side of the plane is the front side.
