FT_PLOT_MESH
Note that this reference documentation is identical to the help that is displayed in MATLAB when you type “help ft_plot_mesh”.
FT_PLOT_MESH visualizes a surface or volumetric mesh, for example describing the realistic shape of the head. Surface meshes should be described by triangles and contain the fields "pos" and "tri". Volumetric meshes should be described with tetraheders or hexaheders and have the fields "pos" and "tet" or "hex". Use as ft_plot_mesh(mesh, ...) or if you only want to plot the 3-D vertices ft_plot_mesh(pos, ...) Optional arguments should come in key-value pairs and can include 'facecolor' = [r g b] values or string, for example 'brain', 'cortex', 'skin', 'black', 'red', 'r', or an Nx3 or Nx1 array where N is the number of faces 'vertexcolor' = [r g b] values or string, for example 'brain', 'cortex', 'skin', 'black', 'red', 'r', or an Nx3 or Nx1 array where N is the number of vertices 'edgecolor' = [r g b] values or string, for example 'brain', 'cortex', 'skin', 'black', 'red', 'r' 'faceindex' = true or false 'vertexindex' = true or false 'facealpha' = transparency, between 0 and 1 (default = 1) 'edgealpha' = transparency, between 0 and 1 (default = 1) 'surfaceonly' = true or false, plot only the outer surface of a hexahedral or tetrahedral mesh (default = false) 'vertexmarker' = character, e.g. '.', 'o' or 'x' (default = '.') 'vertexsize' = scalar or vector with the size for each vertex (default = 10) 'unit' = string, convert to the specified geometrical units (default = []) 'maskstyle', = 'opacity' or 'colormix', if the latter is specified, opacity masked color values are converted (in combination with a background color) to rgb. This bypasses openGL functionality, which behaves unpredictably on some platforms (e.g. when using software opengl) If you don't want the faces, edges or vertices to be plotted, you should specify the color as 'none'. Example [pos, tri] = icosahedron162; mesh.pos = pos; mesh.tri = tri; ft_plot_mesh(mesh, 'facecolor', 'skin', 'edgecolor', 'none') camlight See also FT_PLOT_HEADSHAPE, FT_PLOT_VOL, TRIMESH, PATCH
