function  geom_finite_disp_2d (wait)
% ------------------------------------------------------
% Matlab control program to apply matrix transformation
% operators (in homogeneous coordinates) to an arbitrary
% 2_d shape & plot it in true shape.
% The shape is defined by triangles (in tri_2d.dat) that
% are connected to points (in xy.dat). Extra points allowed.
