Cylinder
This function constructs a cylinder connecting two center points
Usage :
[Cylinder EndPlate1 EndPlate2] = Cylinder(X1+20,X2,r,n,'r',closed,lines)
Cylinder-------Handle of the cylinder
EndPlate1------Handle of the Starting End plate
EndPlate2------Handle of the Ending End plate
X1 and X2 are the 3x1 vectors of the two points
r is the radius of the cylinder
n is the no. of elements on the cylinder circumference (more--> refined)
cyl_color is the color definition like 'r','b',[0.52 0.52 0.52]
closed=1 for closed cylinder or 0 for hollow open cylinder
lines=1 for displaying the line segments on the cylinder 0 for only
surface
Typical Inputs
X1=[10 10 10];
X2=[35 20 40];
r=1;
n=20;
cyl_color='b';
closed=1;
NOTE: There is a MATLAB function "cylinder" to revolve a curve about an
axis. This "Cylinder" provides more customization like direction and etc
