Algorithm (Workflow)
This algorithm is designed to flatten a hierarchical cell array into a single-level cell array. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.0.
Input Parameters
- A: A hierarchical cell array that may contain nested cells.
Output Results
- X: A single-level cell array containing all elements from the hierarchical cell array.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize an empty cell array
X.
- Check if
A is not a cell array using ~iscell(A):
- If
A is not a cell, append A to X.
- If
A is a cell array, iterate over each element of A using a for loop:
- For each element
A{i}, recursively call cell2cellarray to flatten it.
- Append the result
Y to X.
- Return the flattened cell array
X.
Example
Given a cell array S=SGbearing, calling cell2cellarray({S,S,{S;S}}) will return a single-level cell array containing all elements of the nested structure.
