David,
That's exactly what I mean, and I see it's not new to IDL8 - but new
to IDL5 - so I'm a little behind the times (as usual).
One rhetorical question - why Oh Why is there no mention of this
function (and related ones like mesh_smooth) when you look through the
idlgrpolygon documentation ?
I'm on the idlgrpolygon page - where is the 'See Also' ? Jeez !!
Thanks, as ever,
George.

Are you thinking of Mesh_Decimate? This will take care
of both your vertices and your connectivity array,
whatever the hell it is. :-)
Cheers,
David
