VLmindist

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - Analytical Geometry
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 4.1, Creation date: 2017-08-17, Last change: 2025-09-14

returns the minimal distance larger than zero

Description

After reading in a STL file, there is a need to check the minmal distances between the vertices.
If the minimal distance is smaller than the minimal value of Matlab, eps, accuracy errors will occur.

Syntax

[dmm,dmin]=VLmindist(VL,[epsr])

Input Parameter

VL: vector list
epsr: optional rounding before; default is 0, i.e. no rounding

Output Parameter

dmm: absolute minimal distance
dmin: minmal distance per column

Examples


VLmindist(rand(1000000,1)) % linear minimal random distance
VLmindist(rand(1000000,2)) % quadratic minimal random distance
VLmindist(rand(1000000,3)) % cubic minimal random distance
