vertexAttachments - Class: TriRep

Return simplices attached to specified vertices

Syntax

Description

SI = vertexAttachments(TR, VI) returns the vertex-to-simplex information for the specified vertices VI. For 2-D triangulations in MATLAB, the triangles SI are arranged in counter-clockwise order around the attached vertex VI.

Input Arguments

Output Arguments

Definitions

A simplex is a triangle/tetrahedron or higher dimensional equivalent.

Examples

Example 1

Load a 2-D triangulation and use TriRep to compute the vertex-to-triangle relations.

load trimesh2d
trep = TriRep(tri, x, y);

Find the indices of the tetrahedra attached to the first vertex:

Tv = vertexAttachments(trep, 1)
Tv{:}

Example 2

Perform a direct query of a 2-D triangulation created using DelaunayTri.

x = rand(20,1);
y = rand(20,1);
dt = DelaunayTri(x,y);

Find the triangles attached to vertex 5:

t = vertexAttachments(dt,5);

Plot the triangulation:

triplot(dt);
hold on;

Plot the triangles attached to vertex 5 (in red):

triplot(dt(t{:},:),x,y,'Color','r'); 
hold off;
