I have a surface that can be described by f(u,v), and I would like to generate a mesh of this object (so that I can later put it in Blender/Paraview). Any guidelines on how to do it in Julia?

There are multiple ways of doing it. If you are doing a lot of geometry processing try:

Maybe you can instantiate specific vertices in the Cartesian product of the parameter space (u,v) and connect with quadrangles?

I can’t seem to find quadrangles in the documentation? I was reading this library, but I can’t figure out how to do this from the documentation. (Also I’ve never had to manually construct a mesh)

Try to read the tests of the package as they are quite exhaustive.
I understand that you can simply instantiate vertices with your parametrization, for instance you have a function:
```julia
f(u,v) = Point3(x(u,v), y(u,v), z(u,v))
```
So you can create a lattice:
```julia
vertices = [f(u,v) for u in us for v in vs]
```
and connect a few of them, for example with a grid topology:
```julia
topology = GridTopology(length(us)-1, length(vs)-1)
```
The simple mesh is then:
```julia
mesh = SimpleMesh(vertices, topology)
```

In more recent versions, you can also use `RectilinearGrid(x, y, z)` as an alternative where `x`, `y` and `z` are vectors.
