Syntax

TF = isConnected(TR,startID,endID)
TF = isConnected(TR,E)

Description

TF = isConnected(TR,startID,endID) returns a logical column vector whose elements are 1 (true) when the specified starting and ending pairs of vertices are connected by an edge. startID and endID specify edges by their starting and ending points, where each point is represented by its row number in TR.Points. The return value ID identifies triangles by their identification numbers.

example

TF = isConnected(TR,E) specifies the edge start and end vertex IDs in a two-column matrix E.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Triangulation representation, specified as a scalar triangulation or delaunayTriangulation object.

Data Types: triangulation | delaunayTriangulation

Starting vertex identification for each edge, specified as a column vector. A vertex identification number is the number of the row in the Points property that corresponds to the vertex.

Data Types: double

Ending vertex identification for each edge, specified as a column vector. A vertex identification number is the number of the row in the Points property that corresponds to the vertex.

Data Types: double

Edge matrix, specified as a two-column matrix. Each row contains the starting and ending vertex identifications for an edge. A vertex identification number is the number of the row in the Points property that corresponds to the vertex.

Data Types: double
