FLofCVL

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - FL/Facet Lists
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 2.7, Creation date: 2015-10-04, Last change: 2025-09-14

returns the faces for a tube-style vertex list

Description

This function is used in SGsphere. Does work with one PL. Analyzes itself the z-values.
The function expects a sorted vertex list consisting of several succeeding polygon point list with different z-values. If just the VL is input argument, the function analyzes the z-values and reconstructs based on same z-values different levels and creates the outer walls between those polygons.

Syntax

[FLB,FLW,FLT,CiL,ni]=FLofCVL(VL,[ni,at,tt])

Input Parameter

VL: Vertex list
ni: Optional size list
at: optional assignment type; default is 'number'
tt: optional turning type; default is 'none'

Output Parameter

FLB: Facet list of the walls
FLW: Facet list of the bottom
FLT: Facet list of the cover
CiL: CiL
ni: size list

Examples


VL=[]; for i=1:10; VL=[VL;VLaddz(PLstar(10,10),3*i)]; end; FLofCVL(VL);
VL=[]; for i=1:10; VL=[VL;VLaddz(PLkidney(10,12+i/3,pi/4+i*pi/10),3*i)]; end; FLofCVL(VL);
