Drawing Polygon shapes with data

5 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I have such data,
The code which I am using to plot it is this
k = size(out,2); % k =1 since there is only one file in out struct
%% Drawing from the Data Files %
for i =1:1:k
a = size(out(i).model_data,1)
for j =1:1:(a-1)
x1(j) = [out(i).model_data(j,1)];
x2(j) = [out(i).model_data(j+1,1)];
y1(j) = [out(i).model_data(j,2)];
y2(j) = [out(i).model_data(j+1,2)];
rectangle('Position',[x1(j) x2(j) y1(j) y2(j)])
axis([0 0.02 0 0.2])
hold on
end
end
the result, which I am getting is this:
which is not correct, because all the rectangles should join each other, does any one know what to do?

Is this what you mean?
k = size(out,2);
for i =1:k
a = size(out(i).model_data,1);
for j =1:(a-1)
coord = out(i).model_data(j:j+1,:);
rectangle('Position',[coord(1,1) 0 coord(2,1)-coord(1,1) coord(1,2)])
axis([0 0.2 0 0.02])
hold on
end
end
If so I will move to the answer section.

yeah, thanks :) now it draws correctly
just one question, if the out struct has more than 1 file, then it will also draw correctly?

You can draw the rectangles from your struct as follows:
k = size(out,2);
figure(), hold on
for i = 1:k
a = size(out(i).model_data,1);
for j =1:(a-1)
coord = out(i).model_data(j:j+1,:);
rectangle('Position',[coord(1,1) 0 coord(2,1)-coord(1,1) coord(1,2)])
axis([0 0.2 0 0.02])
end
end
When you have a non-scalar structure, this plots all rectangles on the same figure. For seperate figures you should move "figure(), hold on" into the first loop.

You would have no output, so it would go something like
function [] = myrectangles(out)
% code above
end

Hi, sorry to disturb you again, but I have one small question
the first column is the start and end points of the rectangle and the height of the rectangle is the second column - third column is at that point.
Can you tell me what to change in your code:
k = size(MD,1);
figure(), hold on
for i = 1:k
a = size(MD(i),1);
for j =1:(a-1)
coord = out(i).model_data(j:j+1,:);
rectangle('Position',[coord(1,1) 0 coord(2,1)-coord(1,1) coord(1,2)])
axis([0 0.2 -0.1 0.2])
end
end
Also, can I draw inverted shape below the zero axis?
Thanks for helping me

You could build a polyshape array with one element for each region that you want to draw. Once you've built your polyshape array you can plot it. I'm creating polyshape objects N using the nsidedpoly function, but you could call polyshape with the coordinates of the vertices to build the N's that are combined with union into the polyshape array.
A = polyshape;
for nsides = 3:6
N = nsidedpoly(nsides, 'Center', [nsides nsides], 'Radius', 0.5);
A = union(A, N);
end
plot(A)
