Syntax

CPLF=CPLrack4PL([PL,b,t,d])

Input Parameter

PL: Point list such as [A0;B0]
b: buffer; distance required to implement a revolute joint
t: 'minimal', 'circ' or 'box', 'delaunay', 'spokes'; default is 'min'
d: if used; the points are cut out with this radius

Output Parameter

CPLF: Contour to carry revolute joints for linkages

Examples


CPLrack4PL(20*rand(10,2),1,'min');
CPLrack4PL(PLsample(12),1,'box');
CPLrack4PL(PLsample(12),1,'min');
CPLrack4PL(PLsample(12),1,'circ');
CPLrack4PL(PLsample(12),1,'bar');
CPLrack4PL(PLsample(12),1,'spoke');
SGofCPLz(CPLrack4PL(PLsample(12)*3,3,'spoke',1),4); % Cut out the point list als circles
