iFit/sw_ellcylinder

PURPOSE ^

creates the surface of an elliptic cylinder

SYNOPSIS ^

function [handle] = sw_ellcylinder(r1,r2,R,N,v1,v2, cap)

DESCRIPTION ^

 creates the surface of an elliptic cylinder

 [handle] = SW_ELLCYLINDER(r1,r2,R,N,{v1, v2, cap})

 Input:

 r1    Coordinates of the center of the base ellipse, dimensions are [3 1].
 r2    Coordinates of the center of the top cylinder, dimensions are [3 1].
 R     Minor and major radius of the ellipse, dimensions are [2 1].
 N     Number of points of the surface mesh.
 v1,v2 Optional nomal vectors pointing along the minor and major radius
       vector, dimensions are [3 1].
 cap   Optional input, if true the elliptical cylinder is closed with
       caps. Default is false.
