tri: A triangulation object

In tripack: Triangulation of Irregularly Spaced Data

A triangulation object

Description

R object that represents the triangulation of a set of 2D points, generated by tri.mesh or add.constraint.

Arguments

n	Number of nodes
x	x coordinates of the triangulation nodes
y	y coordinates of the triangulation nodes
tlist	Set of nodal indexes which, along with tlptr, tlend, and tlnew, define the triangulation as a set of n adjacency lists – counterclockwise-ordered sequences of neighboring nodes such that the first and last neighbors of a boundary node are boundary nodes (the first neighbor of an interior node is arbitrary). In order to distinguish between interior and boundary nodes, the last neighbor of each boundary node is represented by the negative of its index.
tlptr	Set of pointers in one-to-one correspondence with the elements of tlist. tlist[tlptr[i]] indexes the node which follows tlist[i] in cyclical counterclockwise order (the first neighbor follows the last neighbor).
tlend	Set of pointers to adjacency lists. tlend[k] points to the last neighbor of node k for k = 1,...,n. Thus, tlist[tlend[k]]<0 if and only if k is a boundary node.
tlnew	Pointer to the first empty location in tlist and tlptr (list length plus one).
nc	number of constraints
lc	starting indices of constraints in x and y
call	call, which generated this object

Note

The elements tlist, tlptr, tlend and tlnew are mainly intended for internal use in the appropriate Fortran routines.
