"A ``TriMesh`` represents a mesh of triangles represented as the simplexes and vertexes. The simplexes represent the indices into the vertex data, made up of three indices per triangle. The mesh therefore follows a datastructure very similar to a graph, with the abstract connectivity between nodes stored on the ``TriMesh`` element itself, the node or vertex positions stored on a ``Nodes`` element and the concrete ``EdgePaths`` making up each triangle generated when required by accessing the edgepaths attribute.\n",

"Unlike a Graph each simplex is represented as the node indices of the three corners of each triangle rather than the usual source and target node.\n",

"We will begin with a simple random mesh, generated by sampling some random integers and then applying Delaunay triangulation, which is available in SciPy. We can then construct the ``TriMesh`` by passing it the **simplexes** and the **vertices** (or **nodes**)."
