.. cpp:class:: MeshQuality

    The class provides functions to quantify mesh quality


    .. cpp:function:: static MeshFunction<double> radius_ratios(std::shared_ptr<const Mesh> mesh)
    
        Compute the radius ratio for all cells.
        @param mesh (std::shared_ptr<const Mesh>)
        @return     MeshFunction<double>
                The cell radius ratio radius ratio geometric_dimension *
                * inradius / circumradius (geometric_dimension
                is normalization factor). It has range zero to one.
                Zero indicates a degenerate element.
        


    .. cpp:function:: static std::pair<double, double> radius_ratio_min_max(const Mesh& mesh)
    
        Compute the minimum and maximum radius ratio of cells
        (across all processes)
        @param mesh (const Mesh&)
        @return    std::pair<double, double>
                The [minimum, maximum] cell radii ratio (geometric_dimension *
                * inradius / circumradius, geometric_dimension
                is normalization factor). It has range zero to one.
                Zero indicates a degenerate element.
        


    .. cpp:function:: static std::pair<std::vector<double>, std::vector<double> > radius_ratio_histogram_data(const Mesh& mesh, std::size_t num_bins = 50)
    
        Create (ratio, number of cells) data for creating a histogram
        of cell quality
        @param mesh (const Mesh&)
        @param num_bins (std::size_t)
        @return std::pair<std::vector<double>, std::vector<double>>


    .. cpp:function:: static std::string radius_ratio_matplotlib_histogram(const Mesh& mesh, std::size_t num_intervals = 50)
    
        Create Matplotlib string to plot cell quality histogram
        @param mesh (const Mesh&)
        @param num_intervals (std::size_t)
        @return std::string


    .. cpp:function:: static void dihedral_angles(const Cell& cell, std::vector<double>& dh_angle)
    
        Get internal dihedral angles of a tetrahedral cell


    .. cpp:function:: static std::pair<double, double> dihedral_angles_min_max(const Mesh& mesh)
    
        Get internal minimum and maximum dihedral angles of a 3D mesh


    .. cpp:function:: static std::pair<std::vector<double>, std::vector<double> > dihedral_angles_histogram_data(const Mesh& mesh, std::size_t num_bins = 100)
    
        Create (dihedral angles, number of cells) data for creating a histogram
        of dihedral


    .. cpp:function:: static std::string dihedral_angles_matplotlib_histogram(const Mesh& mesh, std::size_t num_intervals = 100)
    
        Create Matplotlib string to plot dihedral angles quality histogram
