createBody - Class: Aero.Animation
Package: Aero

Create body and its associated patches in animation

Syntax

idx = createBody(h,bodyDataSrc)
idx = h.createBody(bodyDataSrc)
idx = createBody(h,bodyDataSrc,geometrysource)
idx = h.createBody(bodyDataSrc,geometrysource)

Description

idx = createBody(h,bodyDataSrc) and idx = h.createBody(bodyDataSrc) create a new body using the bodyDataSrc, makes its patches, and adds it to the animation object h. This command assumes a default geometry source type set to Auto.

idx = createBody(h,bodyDataSrc,geometrysource) and idx = h.createBody(bodyDataSrc,geometrysource) create a new body using the bodyDataSrc file, makes its patches, and adds it to the animation object h. geometrysource is the geometry source type for the body.

Inputs

bodyDataSrc

Source of data for body.

geometrysource

Geometry source type for body: Auto — Recognizes .mat extensions as MAT-files, .ac extensions as Ac3d files, and structures containing fields of name, faces, vertices, and cdata as MATLAB variables. Default. Variable — Recognizes structures containing fields of name, faces, vertices, and cdata as MATLAB variables. MatFile — Recognizes .mat extensions as MAT-files. Ac3d — Recognizes .ac extensions as Ac3d files. Custom — Recognizes custom extensions.

Outputs

idx	Index of the body to be created.

Examples

Create a body for the animation object, h. Use the Ac3d format data source pa24-250_orange.ac, for the body.

h = Aero.Animation;
idx1 = h.createBody('pa24-250_orange.ac','Ac3d');
