Abstract:
In this note a new procedure to represent the quality measure for triangles is proposed. The
triangles are identified by their three angles and are represented in a bounded domain, called angle
representation region, according to the area coordinates,which are common and well-known by finite
element users. The developed representation can also be used in order to visualize the characteristics
of any quality measure. This new procedure is extended to graphically represent triangular meshes in
the angle representation region.
