create_tin

The create_tin module is used to convert scattered sample data into a three-dimensional surface of triangular cells representing an unstructured mesh.

"Scattered sample data " means that there are discrete nodes in space. An example would be geology or analyte (e.g. chemistry) data where the coordinates are the x, y, and elevation of a measured parameter. The data is "scattered" because there is not necessarily an implicit grid of data.

create_tin uses a proprietary version of the Delaunay tessellation algorithm.
