[SciPy-User] Calculate surface area & volumes from delaunay triangulation

[Dharhas Pothina]

Hi, 

We have an old ArcGIS aml script that we are trying to replace. The original script takes the input from an ArcGIS TIN model (basically a delaunay triangulation of irregular xyz data points defining the bottom surface of the lake) and calculates the surface area and volume of the lake at different elevations (i.e. z cut planes) 

>From my googling it looks like I have options for the delaunay triangulation using scipy, matplotlib, cgal or mayavi. I'm not sure how to do the surface area and volume calculations once I have the triangulation. I would appreciate any pointers. 

thanks,
