Aero.Node - Create node object for use with virtual reality animation

Syntax

h = Aero.Node

Description

h = Aero.Node creates a node object for use with virtual reality animation. Typically, you do not need to create a node object with this method. This is because the .wrl file stores the information for a virtual reality scene. During the initialization of the virtual reality animation object, any node with a DEF statement in the specified .wrl file has a node object created.

Constructor Summary

Constructor	Description
Node	Create node object for use with virtual reality animation.

Method Summary

Method	Description
findstartstoptimes	Return start and stop times for time series data.
move	Change node translation and rotation.
update	Change node position and orientation versus time data.

Property Summary

Property	Description	Values
Name	Specify name of the node object.	string
VRNode	Return the handle to the vrnode object associated with the node object (see the Simulink 3D Animation User's Guide).	MATLAB array
CoordtransformFcn	Specify a function that controls the coordinate transformation.	MATLAB array
TimeseriesSource	Specify time series source.	MATLAB array
TimeseriesSourceType	Specify the type of time series data stored in 'TimeseriesSource'. Five values are available. They are listed in the following table. The default value is 'Array6DoF'.	string
TimeseriesReadFcn	Specify time series read function.	MATLAB array

The time series data, stored in the property 'TimeseriesSource', is interpreted according to the 'TimeseriesSourceType' property, which can be one of:

'Timeseries'	MATLAB time series data with six values per time: lat lon alt phi theta psi The values are resampled.
'StructureWithTime'	Simulink struct with time (for example, Simulink root outport logging 'Structure with time'): signals(1).values: lat lon alt signals(2).values: phi theta psi Signals are linearly interpolated vs. time using interp1.
'Array6DoF'	A double-precision array in n rows and 7 columns for 6-DoF data: time lat lon alt phi theta psi. If a double-precision array of 8 or more columns is in 'TimeseriesSource', the first 7 columns are used as 6-DoF data.
'Array3DoF'	A double-precision array in n rows and 4 columns for 3-DoF data: time lat alt theta. If a double-precision array of 5 or more columns is in 'TimeseriesSource', the first 4 columns are used as 3-DoF data.
'Custom'	Position and angle data is retrieved from 'TimeseriesSource' by the currently registered 'TimeseriesReadFcn'.
