refFrameGeometry edit page

geometry of the reference frame indicator, in screen relative coordinates around its own origin - u to the right, v upwards, both unsigned

The one drawing of a reference frame in MTEX: an arrow per axis that has a direction on screen, a circled dot or cross for the one that points out of or into it, and a label per axis. scaleBar puts it in the corner of a map, the import wizard shows the same picture for the map and the Euler coordinate systems it offers.

Syntax

[V, F, L, labPos, labStr, bbox] = refFrameGeometry(rfScreen, labels, t)

Input

`rfScreen`	`n × 3 matrix of the (right, up, outOfScreen) components`
`labels`	`cell of char, one per direction`
`t`	`the measured text height, used as the length unit`

Output

`V, F`	`vertices and faces of everything filled: the arrows and, if present, the dot of the out of screen symbol. The faces differ in length, hence F is NaN padded`
`L`	`polyline of the circle and, for a direction pointing into the screen, of the cross inside it`
`labPos`	`n × 2 label positions, NaN for directions that are not drawn`
`labStr`	`the labels belonging to them`
`bbox`	`[minU maxU minV maxV] of everything drawn`
