Syntax

rotate(shape,angle,axisPoint1,axisPoint2)
c = rotate(shape,angle,axisPoint1,axisPoint2)

Description

rotate(shape,angle,axisPoint1,axisPoint2) rotates the shape about an axis by an angle and plots the resultant shape.

example

c = rotate(shape,angle,axisPoint1,axisPoint2) rotates shape about an axis and an angle and returns a shape object.

Create a rectangle shape.

r = antenna.Rectangle;
show(r)
axis equal

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (m), ylabel y (m) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myrectangle.

Rotate the rectangle at 45 degrees about the Z-axis.

r1 = rotate(r,45,[0 0 0],[0 0 1])
r1 = 
  Rectangle with properties:

         Name: 'myrectangle'
       Center: [0 0]
       Length: 1
        Width: 2
    NumPoints: 2


show(r1)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (m), ylabel y (m) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myrectangle.

Input Arguments

Example: shape.Box

Axis of rotation defined as a line joining two points, specified as two unique three-element vectors of Cartesian coordinates in meters.

Example: [0 0 0], [0 0 1]

Data Types: double

Angle of rotation, specified as a scalar in degrees.

Example: 45

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Resultant shape obtained after the rotation operation on the input shape, returned as a shape object.
