The features of TerrainLib can be broadly classified as:

Terrain Creation: TerrainLib can create a mesh from a set of unorganized points, breaklines and contours.

Terrain Editing: Often terrain meshes need to be manually edited for various reasons. TerrainLib makes this very easy by offering a host of functions to edit vertices, edges, faces and entire terrain meshes.

Terrain Modeling: TerrainLib also offers several terrain mesh modeling functions. These functions help in altering the general topology of the mesh thereby making it suitable for further operations. Mesh modeling functions include extrude, chamfer, offset, smooth, cut, slice, shell, face reduction, etc.

Terrain Data Extraction: TerrainLib is capable of extracting key geometric information from meshes such as boundary edges, holes, surfaces, shells, etc.

Terrain Tools: These are the utility functions related to terrain meshes.
