Algorithm (Workflow)
The function FEplot is designed to plot the feature edges of a given surface, which can be a Tetrahedron, Triangulation, or Solid. The function is part of the SolidGeometry library and is used for visualization purposes.
Input Parameters
- A: This parameter represents the surface to be plotted. It can be a Tetrahedron, Triangulation, or Solid object. If not provided, the function attempts to retrieve the current axes' VL and FL using
VLFLofgca.
- ang: This optional parameter specifies the angle threshold for feature edge detection. The default value is set to 1e-3 if not provided.
Function Workflow
- The function begins by checking if there is at least one input argument. If the first argument is provided and not empty, it assigns this to the variable
SG.
- If the variable
A is empty, the function attempts to retrieve the current axes' VL and FL using the function VLFLofgca.
- The function then checks if a second argument is provided for the angle. If so, it assigns this value to
ang. Otherwise, it uses the default value of 1e-3.
- Finally, the function calls
FEofSG with the surface A and the angle ang to plot the feature edges.
The function is designed to be flexible, allowing for different types of surface inputs and an adjustable angle threshold for feature edge detection. It is primarily used for visualization in the context of solid geometry.
