verticalSection: Spheroid vertical section

Description

Vertical section of spheroid system

Usage

verticalSection(S, d, n = c(0, 1, 0), intern = FALSE)

Arguments

S

list of spheroids, see simSpheroidSystem

d

distance of intersecting plane to the origin

n

normal vector of intersting plane

intern

logical, FALSE (default), return all section profiles otherwise only those which have their centers inside the intersection window (if the intersected spheroid system had been simulated using exact simulation)

Value

list of size, shape and angle of section profiles

Details

The function performs a vertical intersection defined by the normal vector n=c(0,1,0) which depends on the main orientation axis of the coordinate system and has to be parallel to this.
