Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, apptogglelighttrans, is designed to toggle the light status in a graphical user interface. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced by Tim Lueth in 2012.

Input Parameters

The function does not take any input parameters. It operates based on a persistent variable.

Persistent Variable

status: This is a persistent variable that retains its value between function calls. It is used to track the current state of the light (on or off).

Algorithm Steps

  1. Check if the status variable is empty or false.
  2. If status is false or uninitialized:
    • Set status to 1, indicating the light is now on.
    • Call the function VLFLplotlight with parameters (0, 0.3) to update the light status.
  3. If status is true:
    • Set status to 0, indicating the light is now off.
    • Call the function VLFLplotlight with parameters (1, 0.3) to update the light status.

Function Calls

VLFLplotlight: This function is called with two parameters. The first parameter indicates the light status (0 for off, 1 for on), and the second parameter (0.3) is likely a configuration setting related to the light's appearance or behavior.

Conclusion

The apptogglelighttrans function is a simple toggle mechanism for a light feature in a user interface, using a persistent variable to maintain state across function calls.
