tri_surface_to_stla, a MATLAB code which reads data from a TRI_SURFACE file describing a triangular mesh of a 3D surface, and converts it to an ASCII STL file.
A TRI_SURFACE or triangulated mesh surface, is described by a pair of arrays:
An ASCII STL file contains a description of the surface of a solid that has been decomposed into triangles. The vertices of the triangles should be listed in counterclockwise order, as viewed from outside the surface. A normal vector for the triangle may also be listed.
