FSplot

Introduced first in SolidGeometry 4.0, Creation date: 2017-07-27, Last change: 2025-09-14

plots the featureEdges of TR, SG or VLFL

Description

Similar to FE plot, it plots the feature surfaces of a solid;
Feature surfaces are not officially supported by matlab, nevertheless there the pde toolbox for instance has a facet plot, which is comparable to FS.
In contrast to pdeplotfaces, the SG-Lib gives you full access to the feature surfaces using surfacesofSG. Especially for automatic design it is necessary to select surfaces in many different ways, such as a normal vector. Also information on the faces are required.

Example Illustration

 missing image of FSplot(TR,alp,fsi,col,siz);

Syntax

h=FSplot([TR,alp,fsi,col,siz]);

Input Parameter

TR: surface (Tetrahedron, Triangulation, Solid)
alp: alpha value for neigbor facets
fsi: selected FS; depend on alpha; default is all
col: color of FS; default is colofn
siz: size of descriptiors; default is 16

Output Parameter

h: handle to graphics object consisting of text and patches

Examples

FSplot(SGsample(3))
SG=SGreadSTL(which('BracketWithHole.stl'),1000);
SGfigure; FSplot(SG,1)
SGfigure; FSplot(SG,0.1);
SGfigure; FSplot(SG,1,[4 6]);
SGfigure; FSplot(SG,1,[4 6],'r');
SGfigure; FSplot(SG,1,[4 6],'r',30);
