      This paper presents a new kind of triangulation of simple polygons, which has a low stabbing number (any segment inside the polygon crosses only a logarithmic number of `triangles') and which helps solve diverse visibility problems such as, ray shooting from inside or outside the polygon, visibility inside the polygon from a given point.
