trig_to_neib


trig_to_neib, a C code which reads files defining the nodes and elements of a triangulation, and computes a list of the node neighbors, and, optionally, information about the Voronoi decomposition of the region, by Lili Ju.

The input files are a pair of "NODE" and "ELE" files that use a format specified by the triangle() program.

For each node N1, its set of "neighbors" includes every node N2 which occurs in some element that also includes node N1.

The output node neighbor file lists, for each node, the number of node neighbors, followed by the neighbors in counter clockwise order.

An image of the triangulation can be made using the showme program, or the triangle_display program.
