Algorithm (Workflow)
This algorithm is designed to plot a point cloud or a list of point clouds without any registration. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 4.3. The function is named PCplot and is authored by Tim Lueth.
Input Parameters
- PC: A cell list of point clouds. If the input is not a cell, it is converted into a cell array.
Algorithm Steps
- Check if the input
PC has three columns. If true, convert it using the function PCofVL.
- Ensure
PC is a cell array. If not, convert it into a cell array.
- Initialize a new figure for plotting using
SGfigure.
- Set the labels for the x, y, and z axes.
- Set the view angle to (0, 89) for the plot.
- Initialize an empty array
h to store plot handles.
- Iterate over each point cloud in the cell array
PC:
- Determine the color for the current point cloud using
colofn with the index i and a predefined color set 'rgbmcy'.
- Plot the current point cloud's location using
VLplot and append the plot handle to h.
