pyramid_grid, a C code which generates a grid of points over the interior of a pyramid in 3D.
The pyramid has a square base. As it rises, the square cross section smoothly shrinks to a point. Thus there are five vertices, of which four are on the square base, and one is the apex. There are 8 edges, consisting of the four edges of the square, and an edge joining each base vertex to the apex vertex.
The unit pyramid is the set of points (X,Y,Z) such that:
- ( 1 - Z ) <= X <= 1 - Z
- ( 1 - Z ) <= Y <= 1 - Z
0 <= Z <= 1.
