Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, SGTcopysurfaceframesout, is designed to copy frames from one solid object to another, specifically when the frames are outward frames. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and is used in conjunction with other functions like SGTcopy and SGTcopyinteralframes.

Input Parameters

Output

Algorithm Steps

  1. Check if SGA and SGB are cell arrays. If not, convert them into cell arrays.
  2. Iterate over each element in SGA using index i.
  3. For each element in SGA, iterate over each element in SGB using index k.
  4. For each element in SGB, iterate over each frame T using index l.
  5. Check if the frame T is a surface frame using the function SGissurfaceframe.
  6. If the frame is a surface frame (i.e., VIL > 0), copy the frame from SGB to SGA using SGTcopy.
  7. If no output is requested (nargout == 0), plot the result using SGfigure and SGTplotalpha.
