Synopsis

TrialAndErrorQ2T()

Details

Description

TrialAndErrorQ2T is a SplitQuadMethod, used as the split_how parameter in when splitting quadrilateral Elements into triangles.

TrialAndErrorQ2T tentatively splits each quad along both of its diagonals. The criterion given to the SplitQuads method will decide which of the results to accept, if any.

When the Skeleton is sufficiently refined so that all Elements have the correct dominant pixel type, using GeographicQ2T can be more efficient than TrialAndErrorQ2T. TrialAndErrorQ2T works better if the neighboring elements are not sufficiently homogeneous or if the boundary does not extend past the target Element.
