trajectoryPlotter

Create trajectory plotter

Description

trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp) creates a trajectory plotter for use with the theater plot tp.

example

trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp,Name,Value) creates a trajectory plotter with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Examples

collapse all

Define the coordinates for three trajectories.

coordinates1 = [(1:10)' (2:11)' (11:-1:2)'];
coordinates2 = coordinates1 + 1;
coordinates3 = coordinates1 + 2;

Create a theaterPlot object, set the view angles, and create a trajectoryPlotter object.

tp = theaterPlot;
view(14,50)
trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp,DisplayName="Trajectories");

Plot the three trajectories.

plotTrajectory(trajPlotter,{coordinates1,coordinates2,coordinates3})

Input Arguments

collapse all

Theater plot, specified as a theaterPlot object.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: 'LineStyle','--'

Plot name to display in legend, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'DisplayName' and a character vector or string scalar. If no name is specified, no entry is shown.

Example: 'DisplayName','Radar Detections'

Trajectory color, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Color' and a character vector, a string scalar, an RGB triplet, or a hexadecimal color code.

Line style used to plot the trajectory, specified as one of these values.

ValueDescription
':'

Dotted line (default)

'-'

Solid line

'--'

Dashed line

'-.'

Dash-dotted line

Line width of the trajectory, specified in points size as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LineWidth' and a positive scalar.

Tag to associate with the plotter, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Tag' and a character vector or string scalar. The default value is 'PlotterN', where N is an integer that corresponds to the Nth plotter associated with the theaterPlot.

Tags provide a way to identify plotter objects, for example when searching using findPlotter.
