A method of crystalShape.

a crystal direction drawn as an arrow from the centre of a crystal shape to its surface

Syntax

plotInnerDirection(cS, d)

The direction d inside the shape.

plotInnerDirection(cS, d, faceColor='blue', arrowWidth=0.05, displayName='[101]')

Coloured, for a legend.

Description

The arrow runs from the centre of the shape along d up to where d leaves it, so that it shows inside a translucent shape drawn before. Several directions give several arrows.

Input

cS crystalShape
d Miller, the crystal direction, one or several

Keywords

keyword default description
faceColor 'blue' the colour of the arrow
arrowWidth None MATLAB’s width of the arrow, which replaces lineWidth: 0.05 gives two points
lineWidth 2.0 the width of the arrow in points
displayName None its label in a legend

Output

h the arrow, or a list of them
