What is an Unstructured Grid (UGrid)?
An unstructured grid is spatially referenced information made up of points (x, y, z locations). An unstructured grid may also have information about connections between the points. The connections between the points may define lines and faces; the faces may also be connected to define volumes.
UGrids defined by points only
scatter points 3d scatter points
2D UGrids
meshes, grids
3D UGrids
3d meshes, 3d grids
Constrained UGrids
Quadtrees, 2d, 3d, all triangles...
Why UGrids?
- One set of tools for working with all types of grids
- One set of display parameters for visualizing the grids
- One type on grid to be used with the toolbox
- Smaller code base with increased test coverage to make sure the tools and visualization works
- Support for point datasets and cell datasets
