Algorithm (Workflow)

This algorithm is designed to create a sequence of boxes with varying x-dimensions, separated by a specified distance. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 4.8.

Input Parameters

Output Results

Algorithm Steps

  1. Retrieve the input parameters x, y, and d using the getfuncparams function, with default values if not provided.
  2. Determine the number of elements in the x vector, n.
  3. Generate the first CPL, CPL1, using the CPLsquareline function with inputs x, y, and d.
  4. Calculate the adjusted x-dimensions, xx, from the output of CPLsquareline.
  5. Create the second CPL, CPL2, using the adjusted x-dimensions, xx, y, and d.
  6. Translate CPL2 horizontally by half the width of the first box plus distance d using PLtransP.
  7. Calculate bounding boxes for CPL1 and CPL2 using BBofCPL.
  8. Create a cutting pattern, CPLX, by generating squares based on the bounding boxes and translating them appropriately.
  9. Convert the polygon lists CPL1, CPL2, and CPLX to closed polygon lists using CPLofPL.
  10. If no output arguments are specified, plot the CPLs using SGfigure and CPSplot with different colors for each CPL.
