Output Parameter

ll: levels of spacer
d: length of spacer
s: direction of spacer

Examples


layerspacerlength([1 3],[0 4 6 8]) % layers and length of a spacer between layer 0 and layer 6
layerspacerlength([1 3],[0 4 1 8]) % layers and length of a spacer between layer 0 and layer 1
layerspacerlength([1 3],[0 4 0 8]) % layers and length of a spacer between layer 0 and layer 0
layerspacerlength([1 3],[0 4 -6 8]) % layers and length of a spacer between layer 0 and layer -6
