Algorithm (Workflow)

This MATLAB function, VLFLplotlightoff, is designed to switch off all light objects in the current axes of a figure. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 2.8. The function does not take any input parameters and operates directly on the current axes.

Steps of the Algorithm:

1. Retrieve all child objects of the current axes using get(gca, 'children'). This returns a list of handles to all objects contained within the current axes.
2. Iterate over each child object using a for loop. The loop runs from 1 to the number of child objects.
3. For each child object, check if its type is 'light' using strcmp(get(a(i), 'Type'), 'light'). This condition identifies light objects among the children.
4. If the object is a light, set its visibility to 'off' using set(a(i), 'visible', 'off'). This effectively turns off the light in the plot.
5. The function ends with a call to show, which is likely a custom function or command to update the display, though its implementation is not provided in the code snippet.

Assumptions:

• The function assumes that the current axes contain light objects that need to be turned off.
• The show function is assumed to be defined elsewhere in the library or the user's environment to refresh or update the plot display.

Output:

The function does not return any output. Its effect is visual, as it turns off the visibility of light objects in the current plot.
