gf_plot_mesh
Purpose
Mesh plotting function.
Synopsis
[hmesh,hbound,hfill,hvert,hconv,hdof]=gf_plot_mesh(M, ...)
Description
The various options are expected as a list pair "option name"/"option value".
These options are:
This function can be used with any mesh in any dimension (except if the 'faces' options is turned on).
On output, this function returns the handles to the various
graphical objects created: hmesh is the handles to the mesh
lines, hbound is the handles to the edges of the boundaries, hfill
is the handle of the patch objects of faces, hvert (resp
hconv,hdof) is the handles of the vertices (resp. convexes,
dof) labels.
| 'vertices', {'off' | 'on'} | displays also vertices numbers. |
| 'convexes', {'off' | 'on'} | displays also convexes numbers. |
| 'dof',{'off' | 'on'} | displays also finite element nodes. |
| 'boundaries',blst | displays the boundaries listed in blst. |
| 'cvlst',cvlst | display only the listed convexes. If cvlst has two rows, display only the faces listed in the second row. |
| 'edges', {'on' | 'off'} | display edges ? |
| 'faces',{'off' | 'on'} | fills each 2D-face of the mesh |
| 'curved',{'off' | 'on'} | displays curved edges (useful for quadratic meshes) |
| 'refine',N | refine curved edges and filled faces N times |
| 'deformation', Udef | optional deformation applied to the mesh (M must be a mesh_fem object) |
| 'edges_color',[.6 .6 1] | RGB values for the color of edges |
| 'edges_width',1 | |
| 'faces_color',[.75 .75 .75]) | RGB values for the color of faces |
| 'quality', {'off' | 'on'} | show the quality of the mesh |
Examples
Displaying a donut (meshed with quadratic tetrahedrons) created with GiD:
% the mesh is in the tests directory of the distribution m=gf_mesh('import','gid','donut_with_quadratic_tetra_314_elements.msh'); gf_plot_mesh(m,'refine',15,'cvlst',gf_mesh_get(m,'outer faces'),'faces','on',... 'faces_color',[1. .9 .2],'curved','on','edges_width',2); camlight % turn on the light!
you can notice that the mesh has a small default on some elements.
