Points On Line

Linearly spaced points between two point and ,point in Convex Hull test.

Description

pointsOnLine:Linearly spaced points between two points in space . This function uses direction vector of two point to calculate points between .

inConvHull:function to test a point inside a 3d Convex Hull
zip file contain

pointsOnLine.m : creates linearly spaced points .

testpointsOnLine.m : example showing the use of pointsOnLine function .

sphericalDodecahedron.m : projection of dodecahedron on sphere . Uses this function to create points between two vertex.

inConvHull.m :function test a point whether it is inside a 3d convex hull or not.

testInHull.m :script to test inConvHull function.

Please note that this function can be generalised with a speedup by:

points = interp1([0;1], [point1;point2], linspace(0,1,numPoints));

[Ankur Pawar]

It is generalized but not fast.
