honeyCombMesh

Below is a demonstration of the features of the honeyCombMesh function

Contents

clear; close all; clc;

Syntax

[Fh,Vh]=honeyCombMesh(minV,maxV,pointSpacing);

Description

This function creates the faces (Fh) and vertices (Vh) for a hexagon (honey comb) mesh. The hexagons are created between the limits minV (containing desired minimum X and Y coordinates) and maxV (containing desired maximum X and Y coordinates). The size of the hexagons is set by the desired point spacing.

Examples

Plot settings

fontSize=15;
lineWidth1=3;
faceAlpha1=0.9;

Control parameters

%Desired mesh point spacing
pointSpacing=2;

%Mesh region extrema
maxV=[10 10];
minV=[-10 -10];

CREATING A HONEY-COMB MESH

[F,V]=honeyCombMesh(minV,maxV,pointSpacing);

Plottting model

C=rand(size(F,1),1); %Random color for visualization
