make_grid_lines

create grid lines on a surface object

make_grid_lines src.obj dest.obj nlong nlat

DESCRIPTION

make_grid_lines creates a set of grid lines on a surface object with a specified number of longitude and latitude lines. The source surface src.obj provides the geometry, and the output dest.obj contains the generated grid lines as a lines object.

The nlong parameter specifies the number of longitudinal lines and nlat specifies the number of latitudinal lines to generate on the surface. This is useful for visualizing the parameterization of a surface or for creating reference grids on spherical or quasi-spherical surfaces.

EXAMPLES

make_grid_lines sphere.obj grid.obj 36 18
