[data structures] Acronym for triangulated irregular network. A vector data structure that partitions geographic space into contiguous, nonoverlapping triangles.
Since GRID and TIN structure in a GIS decompose surfaces into relatively homogeneous facets, ...
TIN : Triangulated Irregular Network. A series of triangles constructed using elevation data points taken from coverages. These triangles are used for surface representation and display.
TIN Data Structures
Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) is a list of points with their coordinates that are stored into a file that also contains information about the topology.

TIN
Acronym for triangulated irregular network. A vector data structure that partitions geographic space into contiguous, nonoverlapping triangles. The vertices of each triangle are sample data points with x-, y-, and z-values.
TIN (Triangulated irregular network) - A vector-based data structure for storing terrain information in digital terrain modeling. In a TIN data model, each sample point has an x,y coordinate and a height or z value.
A TIN comprises a triangular network of vertices, known as mass points, with associated coordinates in three dimensions connected by edges to form a triangular tessellation.
The TIN surface you just created is displayed with its faces shaded by elevation and it shows its hard edges -- those which were forced by stipulating that the streams and contours should be treated as Hard Breaklines.
Once your TIN is created, you may want to alter its display. To do so, click the "Symbology" tab (under the shapefile's "Properties" menu) and select "Elevation". Select an appropriate color ramp.
a 'triangulated irregular network' (TIN) of points.

We have created an Digital Terrain Model (DTM) which consists of triangles. A new theme has been added to our view, turn on this new theme. It may take several seconds to display the theme.
Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) A representation of a surface derived from irregularly spaced sample points and breakline features. The TIN data set includes topological relationships between points and their proximal triangles.
Irregularly space points are stored in a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN). A TIN is a vector topological network of triangular facets generated by joining the irregular points with straight line segments.
Using the robotic total station involves entering a digital terrain model, called a TIN-file, into the grader's onboard computer. The grader is fitted with a mast and prism, which has a fixed relation to the grader blade.
It also makes use of the 3D TIN environment and slope analysis for contour generation. It employs Survey Analyst for parcel information and conjoining properties. Data testing is in Tadpole Cartesian and conic GIS for field units.
