NORMALS Function

Standard Library function that computes unit normals on a parametrically defined surface.

Usage

n = normals (j)

Input Parameters

j—The Jacobian (computed by the JACOBIAN function) on the surface.

Returned Value

n—A 3-element list of 2-dimensional arrays of the same size as those in j: n(i) is the array describing the distribution of the i^th component of the unit normal.

Keywords

None.
