Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, SGseedcube, is designed to create a small cube with a specified height and a single frame labeled 'F'. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and is used to initiate design concepts.
Input Parameters
- h: The height (or size) of the cube. If
h is a scalar, the cube will have dimensions [1, 1, h]. If h is a vector, it is assumed to be of the form [1, 1, h].
Output Results
- SG0: A small cube with dimensions [1 x 1 x h] and a frame 'F' positioned at the identity matrix
eye(4).
Algorithm Steps
- Retrieve the height parameter
h using getfuncparams. If h is a scalar, set the dimensions p to [1, 1, h]. Otherwise, assume h is a vector and set p to h, with h being the third element.
- Retrieve the frame name
N using getfuncparams, defaulting to 'F'.
- Create a box with dimensions
p using SGbox.
- Retain the frame 'F' in the box using
SGTretain.
- Translate the box to center it at the origin using
SGtransP with the translation vector [0, 0, -h/2].
- If the frame name
N is not 'F', rename the frame using SGTrename.
- If there are no output arguments, plot the cube using
SGfigure and SGTplotalpha with a green color.
