Description

vector3d.load is a high level method for importing vector data from external files. It autodetects the format of the file. As parameters the method requires a filename and the column positions of either the x, y, z coordinates or the polar angles

Syntax

v = vector3d.load(fname,'ColumnNames',{'x','y','z'})
v = vector3d.load(fname,'ColumnNames',{'latitude','longitude'})
v = vector3d.load(fname,'ColumnNames',{'polar angle','azimuth'},'columns',[2,3])

Input

fname file name (text files only)

Output

v vector3d

Options

columnNames names of the colums to be imported
columns postions of the columns to be imported
radians treat input in radiand
delimiter delimiter between numbers
interface specific interface to be used
