Example 2: Get the boundary edges for a multi mesh type cell

clear; close all; clc;

Syntax

[Eb,E,indBoundary]=patchBoundary(F);

Description

This function provides the boundary edges for the input

Examples

Example 1: Get the boundary edges for a mesh

Creating Example geometry

%Boundary 1
ns=150;
t=linspace(0,2*pi,ns+1);
t=t(1:end-1);
r=6+2.*sin(5*t);
[x,y] = pol2cart(t,r);
V1=[x(:) y(:)];

%Boundary 2
[x,y] = pol2cart(t,ones(size(t)));
V2=[x(:) y(:)+4];

%Boundary 3
[x,y] = pol2cart(t,2*ones(size(t)));
V3=[x(:) y(:)-0.5];

%Defining a region
regionCell={V1,V2,V3}; %A region between V1 and V2 (V2 forms a hole inside V1)
pointSpacing=1; %Desired point spacing
resampleCurveOpt=1; %Option to turn on/off resampling of input boundary curves

[F,V]=regionTriMesh2D(regionCell,pointSpacing,resampleCurveOpt,0);

Get boundary edges

Eb=patchBoundary(F);

Visualize edges

cFigure;
hp1=gpatch(F,V,'kw','k',1,2);
hp2=gpatch(Eb,V,'none','r',1,3);
legend([hp1 hp2],{'Mesh','Boundary edges'})
axisGeom; view(2);
drawnow;

Example 2: Get the boundary edges for a multi mesh type cell

[V,F]=patch_dual(V,F);

Get boundary edges

Eb=patchBoundary(F);

Visualize edges

cFigure;
hp1=gpatch(F,V,'kw','k',1,2);
hp2=gpatch(Eb,V,'none','r',1,3);
legend([hp1(1) hp2],{'Mesh','Boundary edges'})
axisGeom; view(2);
drawnow;
