Check if point lies within a cylinder

Description

Function that checks for each X-Y-coordinate pair, whether the point lies in a cylinder of a given center, radius and height. Works with single numbers or matrices of X- and Y-coordinates as input.

Usage

in_cylinder(Xcor, Ycor, Zcor, Xctr, Yctr, Zbase, radius, height)

Arguments

Xcor	X-coordinate of the point
Ycor	Y-coordinate of the point
Zcor	Z-coordinate of the point
Xctr	X-coordinate of the center
Yctr	Y-coordinate of the center
Zbase	Z-coordinate of the lower end
radius	...of the cylinder
height	...of the cylinder

Value

boolean or matrix of booleans
