Represents a single node of the triangle mesh of the patch.

A triangle is represented by the three sides described as left, right and base. This triangle is connected to neighbour triangles through these references and form part of the ROAM code. A triangle is defined in terms of an apex coordinate and left and right then based on the coordinates supplied. left and right do not necessarily correspond to real world left/right as you look down on the terrain.
