Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, SGflip, is designed to invert the facets of a solid geometry object. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and is similar to the FLswap function but specifically for solids.
Input Parameters
- SG: This is the solid geometry object that you want to process. It contains the facets that will be inverted.
Output Results
- SG: The function returns the solid geometry object with its facets inverted.
Algorithm Steps
- The function begins by calling
SGofSG(SG). This step ensures that the input is a valid solid geometry object. It likely performs checks or conversions to standardize the input.
- Next, the function inverts the facets of the solid geometry by calling
FLswap(SG.FL). This operation swaps the order of vertices in each facet, effectively flipping the facet's orientation.
- The modified solid geometry object, with inverted facets, is then returned as the output.
Example Usage
An example of how this function might be used is given by the line:
SGmeshlab(SGtransT(SGflip(SGbox),TflipR(eye(4))))
In this example, a box geometry is flipped, transformed, and then visualized using a function like SGmeshlab.
