Initialisation

% extract vertices, edges, and faces of soccerball polyhedron
[vertices edges faces] = createSoccerBall;

% prepare figure
figure(1); clf; hold on;
axis equal;
view(3);

% draw the polyhedron as basis
drawPolyhedron(vertices, faces);

Draw each edge as a green cylinder

figure; hold on;
axis equal;
view(3);

width = .05;
radius = .1;

for i = 1:size(edges, 1)
    p1 = vertices(edges(i, 1), :);
    p2 = vertices(edges(i, 2), :);

    drawCylinder([p1 p2 width], 'FaceColor', 'g');
end

Draw each vertex as a blue ball

for i = 1:size(vertices, 1)
    drawSphere([vertices(i, :) radius], 'FaceColor', 'b');
