lcd: Liquid crystal diagrams (LCDs)

In dickie-roper/lcdiagrammer:

Description

A function for producing schematic liquid crystal diagrams that can be useful for demonstrating directod alignment through the depth of an LC cell

Usage

lcd(theta1, theta2, phi1 = 0, phi2 = 0, mol = "el", n = 500,
  l = 0.08, lc_asp = 1/3, theta_n = 0, phi_n = 0,
  bg_col = "white", bg_border = "black", lc_col = "grey90",
  lc_border = "black", right = 1, top = 1, strate1 = 0,
  strate2 = 0, strate1_col = "black", strate1_border = "black",
  strate2_col = "black", strate2_border = "black", seed = NULL)

Arguments

theta1	Tilt angle (in degrees) of LC molecules at y = 0 (measured from x, anti-clockwise)
theta2	Tilt angle (in degrees) of LC molecules at y = 1 (measured from x, anti-clockwise)
phi1	Twist angle (in degrees) of LC molecules at y = 0 (measured from x, anti-clockwise)
phi2	Twist angle (in degrees) of LC molecules at y = 1 (measured from x, anti-clockwise)
mol	Molecule type. One of "el" for elipse (default) or "rect" for rectangles
n	Number of molecules in diagram
l	Length of molecule
lc_asp	Aspect ratio of LC molecule (defaults to 1/4, length is 4 times width)
theta_n	Nose added symetrically to theta (random noise between -theta_n and theta_n is added to theta)
bg_col	Colour of diagram background (between molecules)
bg_border	Colour of border of diagram
lc_col	Colour of the LC molecules
lc_border	Colour of LC molecule borders
right	Right dimension (defaults to 1) Increase to make diagram wider
top	Top dimension (defaults to 1)
strate1	Thickness of the substrate
strate2	Thickness of the superstrate
strate1_col	Substrate fill colour
strate1_border	Substrate border coloure
strate2_col	Superstrate fill colour
strate2_border	SUperstrate border colour
seed	Seed for reproducable diagrams

Value

A base R plot in the graphics device

Examples

lcd(-45, 45)
