A family of coordinates ψh
for the Teichmüller space of a compact surface with boundary was introduced by the
second author. Mondello showed that the coordinate ψ0 can be used to produce a
natural cell decomposition of the Teichmüller space, invariant under the action of
the mapping class group. In this paper, we show that, for any h ≥ 0, the
coordinate ψh produces a natural cell decomposition of the Teichmüller
space.
