* ''R<sub>down</sub>'' is the major radius of the lower X-point (in case it exists) or of the lowest vertical point of the LCFS.
* ''R<sub>down</sub>'' is the major radius of the lower X-point (in case it exists) or of the lowest vertical point of the LCFS.
The upper triangularity is then defined as follows:
The upper triangularity is then defined as follows:
:<math> \kappa_{up} = (R_0-R_{up})/a</math>
:<math> \delta_{up} = (R_0-R_{up})/a</math>
and similar for &kappa;<sub>down</sub>.
and similar for &delta;<sub>down</sub>.
The overall triangularity is defined as the mean of &kappa;<sub>up</sub> and &kappa;<sub>down</sub>.
The overall triangularity is defined as the mean of &delta;<sub>up</sub> and &delta;<sub>down</sub>.
