geomplot
Purpose
geomplot
Plot geometry.
Syntax
Description
geomplot(fem,...)
geomplot(geom,...)
h = geomplot(fem,...)
h = geomplot(geom,...)
geomplot(fem) plots the analyzed geometry fem.geom. For an extended FEM
structure, xfem.fem{geomnum}.geom is plotted, where geomnum is 1 by default.
geomplot(geom) plots the analyzed geometry geom.
h = geomplot(...) additionally returns handles to the plotted axes objects.
The analyzed geometry can be any of the following geometry representations: a
geometry object, a Geometry M-file, or a mesh. The geometry object and
Geometry M-file are described in the entries geomcsg and geomfile, respectively.
The mesh data structure is described in the entry meshinit.
In 3D, the default plot is a patch plot of the faces with the edge segments and
isolated vertices plotted as lines and markers respectively. The face, edge segment,
and vertex parts of the plot can be controlled by the property/values starting with
face, edge, and point respectively. Subdomains cannot be plotted directly, only
indirectly through their adjacent faces.
In 2D, the default plot is a patch plot of the subdomains with the edge segments
and vertices plotted as lines and markers, respectively. The subdomain, edge
segment, and vertex parts of the plot can be controlled by the properties starting
with sub, edge, and point, respectively. You can turn on indication of curve
parameter direction by using the property edgearrows.
In 1D, the default plot is a line plot of the subdomains with vertices plotted as
markers. The subdomain and vertex parts of the plot can be controlled by the
properties starting with sub and point, respectively.
The following table shows the property/value pairs for the geomplot command.
The interpretation of the properties in 1D, 2D and 3D varies with dimension. The
