% PLOTBND - plot boundary of FEM mesh % PLOTBND(fem_grid_struct) draws the boundary of % an input FEM domain. % % PLOTBND can also be used to draw the boundary of a transect. % The boundary list can be generated by passing DETBNDY % the transect node coordinates and the element list for % the transect. Then, pass PLOTBND the same node coordinates % and the boundary list returned from DETBNDY. % % INPUT : fem_grid_struct (from LOADGRID, see FEM_GRID_STRUCT) % % OUTPUT : hboun - handle to boundary object drawn % % CALL : hboun=plotbnd(fem_grid_struct) % % Written by : Brian O.
