I am working with a 2D mesh generated by Gmsh and here I'd like to compute the area of the triangles of in my mesh. What I don't understand is how can I find the coordinates of a given triangle?
In my .m file, I have: msh.nbNod, msh.POS, msh.Max and msh.MIN, msh.LINES, msh.TRIANGLES and msh.PNT.
I think I should somehow use msh.TRIANGLES but I don't get what the numbers listed refer to. If needed, I can post my .m file. Thanks for the help.

It looks to me like msh.TRIANGLES is referring to indices in msh.POS, which like a reasonable way to describe a mesh.
I'd grab the co-ordinates of a triangle's vertices like this:
squareRing;
triangle_ind=500;
msh.POS(msh.TRIANGLES(triangle_ind,1:3)',:)
(Here each row is a vertex, and the columns are x,y,z)
I say it's reasonable, because this is similar to what patch would use (and because max(msh.TRIANGLES(:))==size(msh.POS,1)).
patch('Faces',msh.TRIANGLES(:,1:3),'Vertices',msh.POS,'FaceColor','none','EdgeColor','r')
Note that in the data file you provided, the third column of msh.POS is all zeros, which I assume means that they are all in a 2-D plane.

Hi
How did you get the xy for each triangle in the first place?
Cheers
