Determine the Skewness of a Grid using "equiangle" method #1686
where $\theta_{min}, \theta_{min}$ are the minimum, maximum internal angles at each node of the face; and $\theta_{reg}$ is the internal angle for a regular polygon with the same number of sides and covering the same area as this face:
$$\theta_{reg} = \sum(\text{internal angles of this face}) / n$$
where $n$ = number of sides of this face.
This value should be (nearly) 0 for perfectly-regular polygonal faces, and approach 1 for extremely skew / almost degenerate faces.
While this measure is reasonably simple to reason about, it also isn't perfect, because it only considers angles, not side lengths too. For example, a long skinny rectangle will lead to a value close to 0, because all angles would be close to 90 degrees, even though one might expect a long skinny rectangle to be labeled with high skewness. That is not a bug in the implementation, it is just a downside of using the "equiangle" skewness measurement. Other measurements of skewness can be tracked in other issues.
