In this note a new procedure to represent the quality measure for triangles is proposed. The triangles are identified by their three angles and are represented in a bounded domain, called angle representation region, according to the area co‐ordinates, which are common and well known by finite element users. The developed representation can also be used in order to visualize the characteristics of any quality measure. This new procedure is extended to graphically represent triangular meshes in the angle representation region. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
