Polyscope can display tet and hex meshes, including those which have a mix of hex and tet elements. We'll use the term *cell* to refer generically to a tet or hex in a volume mesh.

Polyscope can easily display pure both tet and hex meshes. However, it can also display meshes that contain a mix of hex and tet elements as well as transition prism and pyramid elements. We'll use the term *cell* to refer generically to either a tet, hex, prism or pyramid element in a volume mesh. As always, Polyscope can also handle scalar, color, or vector quantities associated with the vertices or cells of the mesh, and you can click on the mesh elements to inspect values.
