Syntax

[SG,FLW,FLB,FLT]=SGsphere(R,[nr,wt,wb,Ry,Rz])

Input Parameter

R: Radius
nr: number of points; default is [];
wt: top angle; default is +pi/2
wb: bottom angle; default is -pi/2
Ry: Radius in Y; default is R
Rz: Radius in Z; default is R

Output Parameter

SG: Solid Geometry
FLW: Faces of the wall, related to SG.VL
FLB: Faces of the bottom, related to SG.VL
FLT: Faces of the cover, related to SG.VL

Examples


SGsphere(10,[],pi/10)
[SG,FLW]=SGsphere(10,'',0); SG.FL=FLW; SGfigure(SG); view(-30,30)
[SG,FLW]=SGsphere(10,'',pi/3,-pi/3); SG.FL=FLW; SGfigure(SG); view(-30,30)
SG=SGtransR(SG,rot(pi/6,0,0)); SGfigure(SG);
