secto3d(2)

NAME
secto3d - 3D surfaces conversion

CALLING SEQUENCE
[m[,x]]=secto3d(seclist,npas)
[m]=secto3d(seclist ,x)

PARAMETERS

seclist
    : a list whose elements are (2,.) matrices

npas
    : an integer

m   : a matrix

x   : a vector

DESCRIPTION
Considering a surface given through a list seclist of sections in the (x,z) plane [m [,x]]=secto3d(seclist [,npas]) returns a matrix m which contains a regular discretisation of the surface.

-   The i-th row of the matrix m corresponds to the i-th section

-   The j-th column of m corresponds to the x(j)

Each section seclist(i) is described by a (2,.) matrix which gives respectively the x and z coordinates of points.

[m]=secto3d(seclist ,x) : in that case the x-vector gives the discretisation of the x-axis for all the sections
