contents In a previous work, we proved that each minimal symplectic filling of any oriented lens space, viewed as the singularity link of some cyclic quotient singularity and equipped with its canonical contact structure, can be obtained from the minimal resolution of the singularity by a sequence of symplectic rational blowdowns along linear plumbing graphs. Here we give a dramatically simpler visual presentation of our rational blowdown algorithm in terms of the triangulations of a convex polygon. As a consequence, we are able to organize the symplectic deformation equivalence classes of all minimal symplectic fillings of any given lens space equipped with its canonical contact structure, as a graded, directed, rooted, and connected graph, where the root is the minimal resolution of the corresponding cyclic quotient singularity and each directed edge is a symplectic rational blowdown along an explicit linear plumbing graph. Moreover, we provide an upper bound for the rational blowdown depth of each minimal symplectic filling.
