<Newbie Here>: How to export a CFD mesh to eps format?

[Daniel WEI]

Dear experts:

Thanks for reading this.

I just downloaded the mathgl, and I didn't see any graphic view, dont know how to do it.

I have a CFD mesh (computational fluid dynamic) file, that is a lot of mesh points coordinates and its linking information.

I want to plot this to eps format, I think mathgl is a good option for me to do this, could anyone give me some guidance.

Note:

1. It's better to have a GUI view for me, I need to do some pan and rotation so to decide which view to output to eps.

2. I need hidden lines be removed, or something like that.

Please help.

With best Regards,

Daniel Wei

What is CFD? Is it just a set of vertexes and triangles? If yes then you
can use TriPlot() or TriCont() functions. If this is just grid/regular
data (like matrix) then you can use most of other functions.

There is UDAV (http://udav.sf.net/) which is front end for MathGL which
interpret and plot MGL scripts.

This is default behavior. You can avoid it by using mesh
option/functions or setting low alpha value for surface.

All the best,

Thank you Alexey,

CFD means computational fluid dynamics.

Use Google Images to seach for "CFD mesh", and you will find out what the mesh of each case looks like.

I am using paraview for my post processing tool, however it cannot export eps format. :(
