Description

A 1D curve is defined by its coordinate arrays.

CSX = AddCurve( CSX, propName, prio, points, varargin)

with the parameters

  • CSX: The original CSX structure
  • propName: name of the assigned property
  • prio: priority of the primitive
  • points: two-dimensional coordinates of the base polygon
    • array column refers to point number
    • array row refers to its x,y,z- position:

points(1,point_number): position-x of 'point_number'.

points(2,point_number): position-y of 'point_number'.

points(3,point_number): position-z of 'point_number'.

Example

This example creates a Biquad antenna from thin metal on y=0, with length of each side=\sqrt{50}.

 
    points(1,1) =  0;points(2,1) = 0;points(3,1) = 0;
    points(1,2) =  5;points(2,2) = 0;points(3,2) = 5;
    points(1,3) = 10;points(2,3) = 0;points(3,3) = 0.5;
    points(1,4) = 15;points(2,4) = 0;points(3,4) = 5;
    points(1,5) = 20;points(2,5) = 0;points(3,5) = 0;
    points(1,6) = 15;points(2,6) = 0;points(3,6) = -5;
    points(1,7) = 10;points(2,7) = 0;points(3,7) = -0.1;
    points(1,8) =  5;points(2,8) = 0;points(3,8) = -5;
    points(1,9) =  0;points(2,9) = 0;points(3,9) = 0;
    CSX = AddMetal(CSX,'metal'); 
    CSX = AddCurve(CSX,'metal',10, points);
