Constructing a Grid from only X and Y Coordinates #349

Open philipc2 opened 1 year ago

philipc2 commented 1 year ago

The simplest form of represented an unstructured grid is through a set of X and Y coordinates, with no added connectivity.

A grid can be constructed and represented in the UGRID conventions in the following ways

This can be achieved using scipy.spatial or similar libraries

Does anyone have a ugrid file that has only nodes?

@aaronzedwick

You should be able to use any of our grid files with X and Y coordinates, just ignore any other variables.

Okay, that makes sense, thanks!
