Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, SGCaddSGn, is designed to add multiple copies of a solid geometry to a solid geometry container. It is an auxiliary procedure from the SG-Library, specifically created to handle the addition of multiple instances of a solid geometry.
Input Parameters
- C: This is the solid geometry container. It is a data structure that holds various solid geometries.
- SG: This represents the solid geometry to be added. It can be in formats such as .VL or .FL, which are specific to the library.
- n: This is the number of copies of the solid geometry
SG that need to be added to the container C.
Output
- C: The updated solid geometry container after adding
n copies of SG.
Algorithm Explanation
The function SGCaddSGn operates as follows:
- It initializes a loop that runs from 1 to
n, where n is the number of copies to be added.
- Within each iteration of the loop, it calls another function
SGCaddSG, passing the current state of the container C and the solid geometry SG as arguments.
- The function
SGCaddSG is responsible for adding a single instance of SG to the container C.
- After each call to
SGCaddSG, the container C is updated to include the new copy of SG.
- This process repeats until
n copies have been added.
In summary, SGCaddSGn is a straightforward loop-based function that leverages another function to perform the actual addition of solid geometries, iterating n times to achieve the desired number of copies.
