tangent
Define a tangent line to parametrize the definition of a cable system.
Syntax
tangent(c1,v1,r1,c2,v2,r2)
out = tangent(...)
Inputs
- c1
- Circle center coordinates in a 3-element vector.
- v1
- Circle orientation coordinates in a 3-element vector.
- r1
- Circle radius.
- c2
- Circle center coordinates in a 3-element vector.
- v2
- Circle orientation coordinates in a 3-element vector.
- r2
- Circle radius.
Outputs
- out
- Output
Examples
Example with output argument.
c1 = [1000,0,0];
v1 = [0,0,100];
r1 = 0;
c2 = [2000,0,0];
v2 = [0,0, 100];
r2_ = 100;
out = tangent(c1, v1, r1, c2, v2, r2_);
disp(out);
