triangulation_orient, a Fortran90 code which reads a triangulation, and reorients each triangle that has a negative area. If at least one such triangle is encountered, the program writes out a new copy of the triangle file in which all the triangles have been correctly oriented.
The input file prefix_nodes.txt contains the node information for the triangulation. Each data line contains the X and Y coordinates of a single node.
The input file prefix_elements.txt contains the triangle information for the triangulation. Each line contains the indices of 3 or 6 nodes that form a triangle.
For many applications, including computer graphics and finite element computations, it is assumed that the triangles are described with a positive orientation. That is, the nodes are listed in clockwise order.
TRIANGULATION_ORIENT can check whether every triangle in a triangulation has positive orientation, and can "repair" the file if it finds one or more triangles with a negative orientation.
