Algorithm (Workflow)

The function SGfurniturespacer is designed to create a solid geometry object that acts as a spacer to protect furniture from touching a wall. It is part of the SolidGeometry library.

Input Parameters

Output

Algorithm Steps

  1. Retrieve the input parameters ddd and ope using the getfuncparams function, with default values if not provided.
  2. Set a spacer length sl to 1 mm.
  3. Calculate the dimensions:
    • x = ddd(1) + 2 * sl
    • y = ddd(2) + 2 * sl
    • d = ddd(3)
    • l = ddd(4)
    • h = ddd(5)
  4. Construct a command string str using sprintftext to define the base and height of the spacer.
  5. Create the solid geometry object SG using SGofCPLcommand with the command string.
  6. Check the ope vector:
    • If ope(1) is true, cut the end of SG on the 'right' by d + 0.5 mm using SGcutend.
    • If ope(2) is true, cut the end of SG on the 'front' by d + 0.5 mm using SGcutend.
  7. If no output is requested (nargout == 0), perform the following:
    • Display the geometry using SGfigure and SGplotalpha.
    • Write the geometry to an STL file named 'FWSpacer' using SGwriteSTL.
