% Create a CAD component. This function has a built-in demo.
Available calls which return help information are:
m = CreateComponent() Returns a demo component
types = CreateComponent( 'type' ) Lists all available component types
param = CreateComponent( 'parameter', type ) Lists all parameters for type
param = CreateComponent( type ) also lists all parameters
CreateComponent( 'inputs' ), additional generic inputs
CreateComponent( 'colors' ), creates a GUI with named colors
The call to create a component is:
m = CreateComponent( 'make', type, param1, val1, ..., paramN, valN )
This function creates the data structure for the component using the parameter
pairs param1,val1 through paramN,valN. m can be input to BuildCADModel.
The common parameter structures are:
'thermal' 'mass' 'power' 'optical' 'infrared' 'aero' 'rf'
'magnetic' 'propulsion' 'graphics'
Notes:
- The last action creates a GUI with available named colors.
- Note that the parameter 'mass' may be a mass structure (mass, cM, inertia).
- Components are all inside by default (inside=1).
- The parameter 'n', number of divisions, is optional in many geometric
primitives, such as sphere and cylinder.
- Specifying a named color will override both the graphics and optical
properties. If this is not the desired behavior specify an RGB triple
instead.
- Specify a 'generic' component to enter just vertices ('vertex') and faces ('face').
- Specify an 'empty' component for the default data structure.
