    This example shows how to imprint a circular patch on a box face.

    Create and view a box. Imprint a rectangle on to a box.

    box = shape.Box;
show(box);

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

    Create a circular patch of 0.3 m radius and imprint it on the box face.

    circ = shape.Circle(Radius=0.3);
[~] = translate(circ,[0 0 1]);
impShape = imprintShape(box,circ);
show(impShape);
view([64.60 35.80])
