Algorithm (Workflow)
The function colofPose is designed to convert a color string that uses specific 4Bar link/area description letters into standard MATLAB color codes. This function is part of the SG-Library and was introduced in SolidGeometry 5.1.
Input Parameters
- cs4Bar: A color string using 4Bar link/area description letters. For example, 'E--' represents an effector with a dashed line style.
Output Results
- cs: A color string that uses standard MATLAB colors, such as 'r--' for red with a dashed line style.
Algorithm Explanation
The function colofPose uses the strrepn function to replace specific characters in the input string cs4Bar with corresponding MATLAB color codes. The replacements are as follows:
- 'E' (Effector) is replaced with 'g' (green).
- 'C' (Crank) is replaced with 'b' (blue).
- 'S' (Swing) is replaced with 'c' (cyan).
- 'W' (Restricted area) is replaced with 'r' (red).
- 'G' (Ground) is replaced with 'y' (yellow).
The function does not contain any switch conditions, so the explanation is limited to the character replacements performed by strrepn.
