Summary: An algorithm is proposed for generating a conformal quasi-hierarchical triangular mesh that approximates a set of given polygonal lines to accuracy \(\delta\). The solvability of the problem is guaranteed by the possibility of shifting the polygonal lines within their \(\delta\)-neighborhood. The resulting mesh consists of a small number of triangles and admits a multigrid implementation. An estimate is given for the growing number of mesh triangles with decreasing \(\delta\) (of order \(\log_2^2\delta^{-1})\). The algorithm is applied to a particular set of polygonal lines.
