newKnot: Create a Knot object

Description

This function creates a knot object from a matrix of 3D points coordinates and a vector of separators (for links)

Usage

newKnot(points3D, ends)

Arguments

points3D

An $N$ x 3 matrix containing the $x$, $y$, $z$ coordinates of points of a polygonal knot or link. Each row then contains the 3D coordinates of a single point of the structure.

ends

A vector of integers containing the separators of the link components. A separator can be seen as the index of the edge that if not removed would connect a component with the following. This slot is automatically set to numeric(0) for knots

Value

an object of class Knot
