the small circles about the pole and the meridians, as polylines of directions
Syntax
L = sphereGridLines()
Every 30 degree.
L = sphereGridLines(step=15*degree, points=181)
A denser grid.
Description
The small circles about z at every multiple of step strictly between the poles, then the meridians from pole to pole at every multiple of step in the azimuth.
Keywords
| keyword | default | description |
|---|---|---|
step |
30*degree |
the spacing of the circles in the polar angle and of the meridians in the azimuth |
points |
91 |
the number of points of a small circle; a meridian takes half as many |
Output
L |
list of (k, 3) arrays, one polyline per circle |
