triangulation_display_opengl


triangulation_display_opengl, a C++ code which reads the name of two data files defining a triangulation, reads the data, and displays the triangulation using OpenGL.

The files defining the triangulation consist of one file containing the coordinates of the points, and a second file that lists the indices of the nodes making up each triangle. Either 3-node or 6-node triangles may be used.

Usage:

triangulation_display_opengl prefix
where prefix is the common filename prefix:
