        This python module is a python interface to Hang Si's `tetgen <https://github.com/ufz/tetgen>`__ C++ software. This module combines speed of C++ with the portability and ease of installation of Python along integration with the visualization toolkit  `VTK <https://www.vtk.org/>`__ .  See the `tetgen <https://github.com/ufz/tetgen>`__ GitHub page for more details on the creator.
        
        The last update to the original C++ software was on 19 January 2011, but the software remains relevant today.  Brief description from `Weierstrass Institute Software <http://wias-berlin.de/software/index.jsp?id=TetGen&lang=1>`__:
        
        TetGen is a program to generate tetrahedral meshes of any 3D polyhedral domains. TetGen generates exact constrained Delaunay tetrahedralization, boundary conforming Delaunay meshes, and Voronoi partitions.
        
        TetGen provides various features to generate good quality and adaptive tetrahedral meshes suitable for numerical methods, such as finite element or finite volume methods. For more information of TetGen, please take a look at a list of `features <http://wias-berlin.de/software/tetgen/features.html>`__.

        Basic Example
        -------------
        The features of the C++ TetGen software implemented in this module are primarily focused on the tetrahedralization a manifold triangular surface.  This basic example demonstrates how to tetrahedralize a manifold surface and plot part of the mesh.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import vtki
            import tetgen
            import numpy as np
        
            sphere = vtki.Sphere()
            tet = tetgen.TetGen(sphere)
            tet.tetrahedralize(order=1, mindihedral=20, minratio=1.5)
            grid = tet.grid
            grid.plot()
        
        .. figure:: https://github.com/akaszynski/tetgen/raw/master/docs/images/sphere.png
            :width: 300pt
        
            Tetrahedralized Sphere
        
        Extract a portion of the sphere's tetrahedral mesh below the xy plane and plot the mesh quality.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # get cell centroids
            cells = grid.cells.reshape(-1, 5)[:, 1:]
            cell_center = grid.points[cells].mean(1)
        
            # extract cells below the 0 xy plane
            mask = cell_center[:, 2] < 0
            cell_ind = mask.nonzero()[0]
            subgrid = grid.extract_cells(cell_ind)
        
            # advanced plotting
            plotter = vtki.Plotter()
            plotter.set_background('w')
            plotter.add_mesh(subgrid, 'lightgrey', lighting=True)
            plotter.add_mesh(sphere, 'r', 'wireframe')
            plotter.add_legend([[' Input Mesh ', 'r'],
                                [' Tesselated Mesh ', 'black']])
            plotter.plot()
        
        .. image:: https://github.com/akaszynski/tetgen/raw/master/docs/images/sphere_subgrid.png
        
        Cell quality scalars can be obtained and plotted with:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            cell_qual = subgrid.quality
        
            # plot quality
            subgrid.plot(scalars=cell_qual, stitle='quality', cmap='bwr', flip_scalars=True)
        
        .. image:: https://github.com/akaszynski/tetgen/raw/master/docs/images/sphere_qual.png
