Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, ticksofminmax, generates a list of unique, increasing values between two specified bounds, bb(1) and bb(2). It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.0.
Input Parameters
- bb: A two-element vector specifying the minimum and maximum bounds,
[min max].
- res: The distance between ticks. This is an optional parameter and defaults to 5 if not provided.
- det: The resolution for rounding. This is an optional parameter and defaults to 0.1 if not provided.
Output
- tck: A vector of unique, increasing values between
bb(1) and bb(2).
Algorithm Steps
- Retrieve the
res parameter using getfuncparams, defaulting to 5 if not specified.
- Retrieve the
det parameter using getfuncparams, defaulting to 0.1 if not specified.
- Generate a range of values from
rounddiv(bb(1), res) to rounddiv(bb(2), res) with a step size of res.
- Include the rounded values of
bb(1) and bb(2) using det for rounding.
- Combine all values into a single vector.
- Sort the vector and remove duplicates using
sort(unique(tck)).
Example
To generate ticks between -pi and +pi with a resolution of 1 and a detail of 0.01, use:
ticksofminmax([-pi +pi], 1, .01)
