Command line switches


To run Triangle, the command line syntax is
triangle [-prq__a__AcevngBPNEIOXzo_YS__iFlsCQVh] input_file
Underscores indicate that numbers may optionally follow certain switches. Do not put a space between a switch and its numeric parameter. input_file must be a file with extension .node, or extension .poly if the -p switch is used. If -r is used, you must supply .node and .ele files, and possibly a .poly file and .area file as well.
For some of the command line switches described below, you may click on the switch for detailed information.
