	I am plotting a landmass of 4000 points that I wish to fill.
	But due to a hardware limitation in the Hewlett-Packard 835
	SRX, the maximum size of a polygon is 512 points.  Therefore,
	I wish to find an algorithm to break the 4000 point polygon
	into sub-polygons.
	
	Would someone please forward an algorithm or direct me to a
	possible source for such an algorithm?
	                                          Thanks,
	                                                 Greg McRary
