Given ann-sided polygonPon the plane with, a quadrangulation ofPis a geometric plane graph such that the boundary of the outer face isPand that each finite face is quadrilateral. Clearly,Pis quadrangulatable (i.e., admits a quadrangulation) only ifnis even, but there is a non-quadrangulatable even-sided polygon. Ramaswami et al. [Comp Geom 9:257–276, (1998)] proved that everyn-sided polygonPwitheven admits a quadrangulation with at mostSteiner points, where a Steiner point forPis an auxiliary point which can be put in any position in the interior ofP. In this paper, introducing the notion of the spirality ofPto control a structure ofP(independent ofn), we estimate the number of Steiner points to quadrangulateP.
