Algorithm (Workflow)

The function SGbanditjethelmclip is designed to create a clip for a Bandit Jet Helmet. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.1. The function does not take any input parameters and operates using a series of commands to generate a 3D model.

Workflow Explanation

• The function begins by calling SGofCPLcommand with a specific command string. This command string is a sequence of operations that define the geometry of the clip.
• The command string includes:
  • 'b 16 17': This likely creates a base or block with dimensions 16 by 17.
  • 'h 3': This sets the height of the previous block to 3.
  • 'enter': This might be a command to finalize or apply the previous operations.
  • 'text TIM': This adds the text "TIM" to the model.
  • 'cat center ontop -.1': This centers the text on top of the previous geometry with a slight offset.
  • 'b 1.5 15': Creates another block with dimensions 1.5 by 15.
  • 'dupc 2 1 3.5': Duplicates the previous block with specific parameters.
  • 'trans center': Translates the duplicated block to the center.
  • 'h 4': Sets the height of the current geometry to 4.
  • 'b 2.5 15': Creates another block with dimensions 2.5 by 15.
  • 'dupc 2 1 4.5': Duplicates this block with different parameters.
  • 'trans center': Centers the duplicated block.
  • 'h 2': Sets the height of the current geometry to 2.
• The result of these operations is stored in the variable SG, which represents the 3D model of the clip.
• SGfigure(-30,30): This function call likely sets up a figure or plot with a specific range, possibly for visualization purposes.
• SGplotalpha(SG,'r',0.9): This plots the model SG with a red color ('r') and an alpha transparency of 0.9.
• SGwriteSTL(SG,'JetHelmClip'): This writes the 3D model to an STL file named "JetHelmClip".
