lock2, block3
Purpose
block2, block3
Construction function for right-angled block geometry object.
Syntax
Description
obj = block3
obj = block2
obj = block3(lx,ly,lz,...)
obj = block2(lx,ly,lz,...)
obj = block3 creates a right-angled solid block object with all side lengths equal
to 1, one corner at the origin, and the local z-axis equal to the global z-axis. block3
is a subclass of solid3.
obj = block3(lx,ly,lz,...) creates a right-angled solid block geometry object
with positive side lengths lx, ly, and lz. lx, ly, and lz are positive real scalars, or
strings that evaluate to positive real scalars, given the evaluation context provided by
the property const.
The functions block3/block2 accept the following property/values:

PROPERTY VALUE DEFAULT DESCRIPTION
axis
Vector of
reals or cell
array of
strings
base corner |
center
const Cell array of
strings
pos
Vector of
reals or cell
array of
strings
[0 0] Local z-axis of the object
corner Positions the object either centered
about pos or with one corner in pos
{} Evaluation context for string inputs
[0 0] Position of the object
rot real or string 0 Rotational angle about axis (radians)
axis sets the local z-axis, stated either as a directional vector of length 3, or as a
1-by-2 vector of spherical coordinates. axis is a vector of real scalars, or a cell array
of strings that evaluate to real scalars, given the evaluation context provided by the
property const. See gencyl3 for more information on axis.
pos sets the position of the object, either centered about the position or with one
corner in the position. The corresponding values of base are center and corner.
pos is a vector of real scalars, or a cell array of strings that evaluate to real scalars,
given the evaluation context provided by the property const.
