pdetool identify boundary nodes

After exporting mesh nodes in "p" from pdetool to workspace, I should like to identify those nodes which pdetool assumes are boundary nodes.

I believe that you can get the [p,e,t] representation of the mesh, and then examine the list of edges e. Look at the indices k where e(6,k) or e(7,k) is 0, meaning an edge of the geometry bordering on the exterior. For details, see the mesh data description. These edges have corresponding points p that are on the boundary of the geometry.

PDE Toolbox allows you to set boundary conditions only at edges of the geometry, not internal edges. So perhaps the e matrix consists only of those edges, but I don't know for sure. It might depend on how you created the geometry, whether you removed internal edges or not.
