extrudeRotate

Extrude 2-D shape by angle about z-axis

Since R2023b

Syntax

extrudeRotate(shape,angle)

extrudeRotate(___,Name=Value)

Description

extrudeRotate(shape,angle) extrudes the 2-D shape by the specified angle about the z-axis.

extrudeRotate(___,Name=Value) extrudes the 2-D shape by the specified angle with additional options specified by one or more Name-Value Arguments.

Examples

Extrude Shape by Rotation

This example shows how to create a tube shape from a circle. Create a circle centered at (2,0).

Extrude it by a rotation of 90 degrees to generate a tube shape.

circ = shape.Circle(Center=[2 0]);
extrudeRotate(circ,90,NumSegments=30);
view([54.39 40.18])

Input Arguments

shape — Shape to extrude

2-D shape object

Shape to extrude, specified as a 2-D shape object.

Example: shape.Circle

angle — Extrusion angle

numeric scalar

Extrusion angle, specified as a numeric scalar.

Example: 40

Data Types: double

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: NumSegments=4

NumSegments — Number of divisions along extrusion

3 (default) | positive integer scalar

Number of divisions along the extrusion, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: 5

Data Types: double

Caps — Option to put cap enclosure for extruded shape

false (default) | true | 0 | 1

Option to put cap enclosure for extruded shape, specified as false or 0 for no caps, and true or 1 for capping the extruded shape.

Example: true

Data Types: double | logical

Pitch — Distance along z-axis for one complete rotation

0 (default) | positive scalar

Distance along the z-axis for one complete rotation of the shape during extrusion, specified as a positive scalar in meters.

Example: 2

Data Types: double
