TRIANGULATION_BOUNDARY_NODES
Boundary Nodes of a Triangulation


TRIANGULATION_BOUNDARY_NODES, a MATLAB program which analyzes the triangulation of a region, and identifies each boundary node with the label "1".

Either a 3-node or 6-node triangulation may be used.

Although this boundary information is useful, it would be more useful to divide the boundary nodes up, if the boundary consists of more than one connected segment. Moreover, it would also be useful to report the sequence of nodes necessary to trace out a connected segment of the boundary. I imagine I will come back to work on those projects later!

Usage:

triangulation_boundary_nodes ( 'prefix' )
where prefix is the common filename prefix:
