Closes an contour right hand with an optional second contour

Description

Powerful function that is used to close a contour, or close a contour with an inner contour or to generate the hull between an lower(outer) and upper(inner contour) with arbitrary number of edges. It is used in FLcoatVLEL (5.1.2013) !!! Procedure still seems to have a bug for contours in the same plane. It is possible that in 2D an edge can cross the inner contour. Check with 3 outer and 7 inner facets. But for contours in different planes it is better than Delaunay triangulation FLofVLEL (Delaunay)

Syntax

[VL,FL]=VLFLclose(OVL,IVL)

Input Parameter

OVL: Outer contour vertex list (outer, bottom) (3D)
IVL: Inner contour certex list (inner, top) (3D)

Output Parameter

VL: Vertex list
FL: Facet list
