MESHBOUNDARY Boundary of a mesh as a collection of 3D line strings.
CURVES = meshBoundary(V, F)
Example
% create centered icosahedron
[v, f] = createIcosahedron;
v(:,3) = v(:,3) - mean(v(:,3));
% convert to simili-sphere
[v2, f2] = subdivideMesh(v, f, 3);
v3 = normalizeVector3d(v2);
% clip with plane
plane = createPlane([0 0 0], [-1 -2 3]);
[vc, fc] = clipMeshVertices(v3, f2, plane, 'shape', 'plane');
figure; drawMesh(vc, fc); axis equal; view(3);
% draw mesh boundary
curves = meshBoundary(vc, fc);
hold on; drawPolygon3d(curves{1}, 'linewidth', 2, 'color', 'b');
