SGnamedset

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - Auxiliary function
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 5.4, Creation date: 2024-08-11, Last change: 2025-09-15

creates a textfield to understand the parameters of the solid

Description

This function is used before SGwriteMultipleSTL to make sure that some information at least the variable name in function is known. The function does not allow the use of calculated solids, only solids by variable name

See Also: SGwriteMultipleSTL , SGstampname

Example Illustration

Syntax

SGall=SGnamedset([Solids])

Input Parameter

Solids: Solid Geometries as varargin separated by comma

Output Parameter

SGall: SG cell list including stampnames and stampdates

Examples

A=SGbox, B=SGbox

SGall=SGnamedset(A,B,A,B)

Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, SGnamedset, is designed to process solid geometries and ensure that each solid is associated with a variable name. It is primarily used before the function SGwriteMultipleSTL to ensure that the necessary information is available.

Input Parameters

Solids: A variable number of solid geometries passed as arguments, separated by commas.

Output Results

SGall: A cell list containing the solid geometries, each with an associated stamp name and stamp date.

Algorithm Steps

Initialize an empty cell array SGall with a size equal to the number of input arguments (nargin).
Get the current date and time as a string using datestr(now) and store it in stampdate.
Initialize a counter k to zero, which will track the number of valid solids processed.
Loop through each input argument:

Retrieve the variable name of the current argument using inputname(i) and store it in stampname.
If stampname is empty, throw an error indicating that only variables are allowed as arguments.
Check if the current solid has a field 'FL' and if it is not empty:

Increment the counter k.
Store the solid in SGall at index k.
Assign a stamp name to the solid in the format [stampname ' (' func ')'].
Assign the current date and time to the solid's stampdate field.

If the solid does not meet the criteria, issue a warning that the solid is empty and not included in the set.

Trim SGall to include only the valid solids processed (up to index k).
