TEST_TRIANGULATION
Mesh Generation Test Regions


TEST_TRIANGULATION, a MATLAB library which sets up a number of triangulation test problems.

As far as possible, a uniform and abstract approach has been used. For each test region, a number of routines are provided, via which it is possible for the user to determine many things about the region. Often, just one or two routines would be needed for a particular purpose. The names of the routines, and their purposes are:

The test problems include:

  1. The unit circle;
  2. The unit circle with a circular hole;
  3. A square with a circular hole;
  4. A hexagon with a hexagonal hole;
  5. The horn;
  6. The superellipse with a superelliptical hole;
  7. The bicycle seat;
  8. The slice of pie with a circular hole and triangular notch;
  9. Jeff Borggaard's square with two hexagonal holes;
  10. The unit square;
  11. The L-shaped region;
  12. John Shadid's H-shaped region;
  13. The Sandia fork;
  14. Marcus Garvie's Lake Alpha, with Beta Island;
  15. Sangbum Kim's forward step;
