| Height Delta |
Vertical distance between adjacent rings. Value is
constant for each catenoid. |
| Bottom Height |
Vertical height of bottom ring. Flag Symmetric
must be switched off to enable this slider. |
| Waist Radius |
Distance of cosh curve associated with
catenoid to axis of rotation. |
| Waist Discr |
Number of vertices on each horizontal ring, i.e. order of
dihedral symmetry of catenoid. |
| Profile Discr |
Number of vertices on each vertical profile curve. |
|
|
| Fixed Height |
If true the vertical height of catenoid
remains fixed if variable height delta is modified.
Otherwise, catenoid changes height. |
| Symmetry |
If true the catenoid is symmetric w.r.t. xy-plane
and the variable bottom height is disabled. |
| Interpolate Cosh(z) |
If true the parameters of the discrete catenoid
are automatically chosen such that its vertices interpolate the smooth catenoid with radius 1. For each dihedral
symmetry, i.e. waist discr, the variables height
delta and profile discr are uniquely determined and,
therefore, their sliders are disabled.. |
| Alternate |
If true the discretization of the catenoid is
zig-zag, i.e. the profile curves are no longer edges. This surface is
not discrete minimal. |
