Description

Visualizing a 3D surface on a regular x-y grid with z-offsets is simple, but when the 2D sampling is irregular, then there is no easy way to plot the data in, for example, Matlab. This is a simple program that reads in a text file with x-y-z triplets separated by whitespace and plots them. The x-y coordinates are first triangulated and a surface mesh is created with the z coordinates. Drag the viewport to rotate, and middle-drag zoom.
