Syntax

SG=SGslidingcoverofCPLz(CPL,[w,T,op])

Input Parameter

`CPL`:		Contour of a convex hull
`w`:		[w h e sl] wall thickness of the walls ; height of the plate
`T`:		Frame to align the cover; not supported yet
`op`:		[x y] for an opening slot at y-min

Output Parameter

SG: cellPlate consisting of at least three parts
