polyExtrude

Below is a demonstration of the features of the polyExtrude function

Contents

Syntax

[F_tri,V_tri]=polyExtrude(Vc,cPar);

Description

The polyExtrude function can be used to extrude polygons to obtain surface patch data and generate CAD like model geometry. See also: polyLoftLinear

Examples

clear; close all; clc;

Plot settings

fontSize=15;
lineWidth=4;

Example: EXTRUDING A PLANAR POLYGON

Creating an example polygon (or sketch)

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

Extruding polygon to obtain the surface model

cPar.pointSpacing=0.55;
cPar.depth=7;
cPar.patchType='quad';
cPar.dir=0;
cPar.closeLoopOpt=1;
[F,V]=polyExtrude(Vc,cPar);

Plotting results

cFigure;
title('Polygon extrusion','FontSize',fontSize);
hold on;

hp1=plotV(Vc,'r-','lineWidth',lineWidth);
hp2=gpatch(F,V,'g');

axisGeom(gca,fontSize);
camlight headlight;
legend([hp1 hp2],'The input polygon','The extruded surface');
drawnow;

Exmaple: Mesh type control

Visualizing extrusion with all possible mesh types

patchTypes={'quad','tri','tri_slash'};

cFigure;
gtitle('Extrusion surface mesh types',fontSize);
for q=1:1:numel(patchTypes)

cPar.patchType=patchTypes{q};
[F,V]=polyExtrude(Vc,cPar);

%Visualizing mesh
subplot(1,numel(patchTypes),q);
title(patchTypes{q},'FontSize',fontSize,'Interpreter','none');
hold on;
gpatch(F,V,'g');
axisGeom(gca,fontSize);
camlight headlight;

end

drawnow;

Example: EXTRUDING A TILTED PLANAR POLYGON

Creating an example of a rotated polygon

% Create rotation matrix
E=[0.25*pi 0 0]; %Euler angles
[R,~]=euler2DCM(E); %The rotation matrix

% Rotate the polygon
Vc=(R*Vc')';

Extruding model

clear cPar;
cPar.pointSpacing=0.5;
cPar.depth=7;
cPar.patchType='tri_slash';
cPar.dir=0;
cPar.closeLoopOpt=1;
[F,V]=polyExtrude(Vc,cPar);

Plotting results

cFigure;
title('Tilted polygon extrusion','FontSize',fontSize);
hold on;

hp1=plotV(Vc,'r-','lineWidth',lineWidth);
hp2=gpatch(F,V,'g');

axisGeom(gca,fontSize);
camlight headlight;
legend([hp1 hp2],'The input polygon','The extruded surface');
drawnow;

Alternative extrusion direction direction

% Extruding model
clear cPar;
cPar.pointSpacing=0.5;
cPar.depth=7;
cPar.patchType='tri';
cPar.dir=0;
cPar.n=[0 0 1];
cPar.closeLoopOpt=1;
[F,V]=polyExtrude(Vc,cPar);

Plotting results

cFigure;
title('Tilted polygon extrusion','FontSize',fontSize);
hold on;

hp1=plotV(Vc,'r-','lineWidth',lineWidth);
hp2=gpatch(F,V,'g');

axisGeom(gca,fontSize);
camlight headlight;
legend([hp1 hp2],'The input polygon','The extruded surface');
drawnow;

Example: EXTRUDING A NON-PLANAR POLYGON

Creating a non-planar polygon for extrusion

ns=150;
t=linspace(0,2*pi,ns);
t=t(1:end-1);
r=6+2.*sin(5*t);
[x,y] = pol2cart(t,r);
z=1/10*x.^2;

Vc=[x(:) y(:) z(:)];

% Extruding model
clear cPar;
cPar.numSteps=13;
cPar.depth=7;
cPar.patchType='tri';
cPar.dir=0;
cPar.closeLoopOpt=1;
[F,V]=polyExtrude(Vc,cPar);

Plotting results

cFigure;
title('Non-planar polygon extrusion','FontSize',fontSize);
hold on;

hp1=plotV(Vc,'r-','lineWidth',lineWidth);
hp2=gpatch(F,V,'g');

axisGeom(gca,fontSize);
camlight headlight;
legend([hp1 hp2],'The input polygon','The extruded surface');
drawnow;
