CVLofCPLbendspherical
by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - CVL/Closed Vertex Lists
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 3.7, Creation date: 2017-03-29, Last change: 2025-09-14
bends a CPL on a cylinder or spherical ellipsoid
Description
Just calls and is exactly the same as PLbending of 2017-March-29
This function bends closed polygon line on a radial sphere (cylinder or ball). The original CPL is not modified, i.e. it is not intended to add additional points on the surface before the bending:
Use CPLaddauxpoints to add points on the contour.
Use PLFLofCPLdelaunayGrid to add points on the surface

Syntax
CVL=CVLofCPLbendspherical(CPL,[Rx,de,Ry,Rz,cent])
Input Parameter
CPL: | | Point List |
Rx: | | Radius Rx |
de: | | distance/intrusion; default is -0.1 |
Ry: | | Optional radius Ry; default is 10000 |
Rz: | | Optional radius Rz; default is Rx |
cent: | | center solid before bending; default is true |
Output Parameter
CVL: | | Vertex list of the bended point list |
Examples
Bends a CPL 1 mm above a sphere
CPL=CPLoftext('Test'); PLbending(CPLaddauxpoints(CPL,1),50,10,50,50);
[PL,FL,EL]=PLFLofCPLdelaunayGrid(CPL,1,1,1); VLFLplot(PL,FL);
PL=PLbending(PL,50,10,50,50); VLFLplot(PL,FL);
