Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, SGsize, calculates the minimal and maximal values in the x, y, and z dimensions of a given Solid Geometry (SG) or a list of SGs. It returns these values in a 1x6 array format.
Input Parameters
- SG: This can be a single Solid Geometry object, a cell list of SGs, or multiple SGs separated by commas.
Output Results
- m: A 1x6 array containing the minimum and maximum values in the x, y, and z dimensions, formatted as [xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax].
Algorithm Steps
- The function checks the number of input arguments using
nargin. If there is only one argument, it assigns it to SG. Otherwise, it assigns all input arguments to SG.
- It checks if
SG is a cell array using iscell. If true, it initializes an empty array VL and iterates over each element in SG to extract the vertex list VL from each SG and concatenates them.
- If
SG is not a cell array, it directly assigns the vertex list VL from SG.
- The function then calls
sizeVL with the concatenated vertex list VL to compute the minimal and maximal values in the x, y, and z dimensions.
- The result is stored in the variable
m and returned as the output.
