Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, PLlemo, generates the contour of an insertion hole for a LEMO plug/socket. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.2.
Input Parameters
- d: A vector containing the outer and inner diameters. The default value is [12, 10.5]. If only one diameter is provided, the inner diameter is assumed to be 1.5 mm less than the outer diameter.
- sl: Slot size, with a default value of 0. If sl is a character, it is converted using the slfit function.
- ww: An additional parameter with a default value of 0, used for rotation.
Algorithm Steps
- Retrieve the parameters d, sl, and ww using the getfuncparams function, which assigns default values if not provided.
- If d is a single value, create a vector with the inner diameter 1.5 mm less than the outer diameter.
- If sl is a character, convert it using the slfit function.
- Create a circular contour using PLcircle with a radius of d(1)/2 + sl.
- Create a rectangular contour using PLsquare with dimensions [d(2), 5*d(1)] + 2*sl.
- Intersect the circular and rectangular contours using CPLintersect to form the final contour CPL.
- If ww is not zero, rotate the contour CPL using PLtransR.
- If no output is requested, plot the contour using SGfigure and CPLplot.
Output
- CPL: The contour of the hole for the LEMO plug/socket.
