Triangle: .neigh files (original) (raw)

.neigh files

• First line: <# of triangles> <# of neighbors per triangle (always 3)>
• Following lines: <triangle #> Blank lines and comments prefixed by `#' may be placed anywhere. Triangles are numbered consecutively, starting from one or zero. Neighbors are indices into the corresponding.ele file. An index of -1 indicates no neighbor (because the triangle is on an exterior boundary). The first neighbor of triangle i is opposite the first corner of triangle i, and so on.

Triangle can produce .neigh files (use the -n switch), but cannot read them.
