Stores parameters of the current figure/View

Description

After adujsting a figure and a view direction call sview.
To restore the same parameters for a new figure just call rview.

Algorithm (Workflow)

This algorithm is a MATLAB function named sview that stores the parameters of the current figure and view in a global variable sview_V. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and is used to save the current view settings of a figure for later restoration using another function called rview.

Input Parameters

varargin: A variable-length input argument list. The function checks if there is at least one input argument and if it is not empty.

Global Variables

sview_V: A global structure used to store the view parameters of the current figure.

Algorithm Steps

Check if there is at least one input argument and if it is not empty. If true, clear sview_V, close all figures, and return.
Retrieve the current azimuth and elevation angles of the view using the view function and store them in sview_V.a and sview_V.e.
Get the current figure's properties using get(gcf) and store them in sview_V.get.
Retrieve the camera target, position, and view angle from the current axes using get(gca, ...) and store them in sview_V.ct, sview_V.cp, and sview_V.va respectively.
Get the current figure's position using get(gcf, 'Position').
Format the azimuth, elevation, and position into a string res.
Call the function VLFLshow (assumed to be a custom function related to the library).
If there is one output argument requested, return res as the output.
