Hello Angel,
I understand that you want to know why the outputs of ‘stlread’ function are different from your expectation.
In the first case, the ‘stlread’ function returns:
- ‘TR’ (triangulation object) in ‘x’
- file format in ‘y’(binary/text)
- attributes when the file is binary in ‘z’
- solid identification numbers when the file is text in ‘c’.
It follows the below mentioned syntax:
[TR,fileformat,attributes,solidID] = stlread(filename);
In the second case, a struct of the name ‘random’ is created which has ‘stl’ as a field. This ‘stl’ field contains the ‘triangulation’ type object that is read from the input file. This ‘triangulation’ object has a ‘Points’ property and each row of this property represents the coordinates of a vertex.
You can refer to the following documentation to understand more about ‘stlread’ function.
Hope this helps!
