Description
Return a Delaunay triangulation around the vertices of the input geometry. Output is a COLLECTION of polygons (for flags=0) or a MULTILINESTRING (for flags=1) or TIN (for flags=2). The tolerance, if any, is used to snap input vertices togheter.
Performed by the GEOS module.

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).
