      A triangular graph is a planar graph in which each face is a triangle, except possibly for the exterior face, and without articulation nodes. The embedding of a triangular graph in the plane is called a triangular mesh. The paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition saying for which graphs triangularity is preserved after some edge contraction.
