Algorithm (Workflow)
This algorithm is a MATLAB function named plotCVL that is used to plot a facet enclosed by a vertex contour list. It is part of the SG-Library and was created by Tim Lueth in 2012. The function is designed for visualization purposes.
Input Parameters
- VL: This is the vertex list, which is a matrix where each row represents a vertex in 2D or 3D space.
- c: This is an optional parameter that specifies the color of the plot. The default color is 'r' (red) if not provided.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize the color
c to 'r'. If a second argument is provided, set c to this value.
- Determine the number of vertices
n by checking the number of rows in VL.
- If
n is less than 3, exit the function as it is not possible to form a triangle with fewer than 3 vertices.
- Create a face list
FL that defines simple triangles using the vertices. This is done by creating a matrix where each row represents a triangle formed by the first vertex and two consecutive vertices from the list.
- Call the function
VLFLplot with the vertex list VL, face list FL, and color c to plot the facet.
