Resources

Local resources

The TriangularMeshTransformation class does not define any publicly accessible resources.

Composite resources

The TriangularMeshTransformation class has no composite class objects.

Superclass resources

You can set all resources defined by the superclasses of the TriangularMeshTransformation object class, including:

Transformation resources

Description

The TriangularMeshTransformation handles transformations of data defined on a number of different types of grids using an algorithm that decomposes the grid cells into a mesh of triangles. Currently it can be used for grids defined using 1D or 2D topologically rectangular coordinates, regularly or irregularly spaced. Eventually it will work for grids with non-rectangular coordinates as well.

You do not create objects of the TriangularMeshTransformation class directly. For the time being only the ContourPlot is able to use the TriangularMeshTransformation class. ContourPlot will use the TriangularMeshTransformation if you set the Transformation super-class resource trGridType to TriangularMesh.

Support functions

There are no special support functions defined for the TriangularMeshTransformation class or its superclasses.
