Syntax

plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions)
plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,velocities)
plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,labels)
plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,velocities,labels)
plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,___,dimensions,orientations)
plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,___,meshes,orientations)

Description

plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions) specifies positions of M platforms whose positions are plotted by platPlotter. Specify the positions as an M-by-3 matrix, where each column of the matrix corresponds to the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the platform locations.

plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,velocities) also specifies the corresponding velocities of the platforms. Velocities are plotted as line vectors emanating from the positions of the platforms. If specified, velocities must have the same dimensions as positions.

plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,labels) also specifies a cell vector of length M whose elements contain the text labels corresponding to the M platforms specified in the positions matrix. If omitted, no labels are plotted.

plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,velocities,labels) specifies velocities and text labels corresponding to the M platforms specified in the positions matrix.

example

plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,___,dimensions,orientations) specifies the dimension and orientation of each plotted platform.

plotPlatform(platPlotter,positions,___,meshes,orientations) specifies the extent of each platform using meshes.

Use of meshes requires Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox™.

Open Live Script

Create a theater plot.

tp = theaterPlot('XLim',[0,90],'YLim',[-35,35],'ZLim',[1,10]);

Create a platform plotter with the name 'Platforms'.

plotter = platformPlotter(tp,'DisplayName','Platforms');

Update the theater plot with three platforms labeled, 'R1', 'R2', and 'R3'. Position the three platforms, in units of meters, at (30, 5, 4), (30, -10, 2), and (30, 15, 1), with corresponding velocities (in m/s) of (-10, 0, 2), (-10, 3, 1), and (-10, -4, 1), respectively.

positions = [30, 5, 4; 30, -10, 2; 30, 15, 1];
velocities = [-10, 0, 2; -10, 3, 1; -10, -4, 1];
labels = {'R1','R2','R3'};
plotPlatform(plotter, positions, velocities, labels);

Change the view angles to view in 3-D.

view([-57.7 -25.9]);

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel X (m), ylabel Y (m) contains 4 objects of type line, text. One or more of the lines displays its values using only markers This object represents Platforms.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Platform plotter, specified as a platformPlotter object.

Platform positions, specified as an M-by-3 real-valued matrix, where M is the number of platforms. Each column of the matrix corresponds to the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the platform locations in meters.

Platform velocities, specified as an M-by-3 real-valued matrix, where M is the number of platforms. Each column of the matrix corresponds to the x, y, and z velocities of the platforms. If specified, velocities must have the same dimensions as positions.

Platform labels, specified as an M-by-1 cell array of character vectors, where M is the number of platforms. labels contains the text labels corresponding to the M platforms specified in positions. If labels is omitted, no labels are plotted.

Platform dimensions, specified as an M-by-1 array of dimension structures, where M is the number of platforms. The fields of each dimension structure are:

Fields of Dimensions

FieldsDescription
LengthDimension of a cuboid along the x direction
WidthDimension of a cuboid along the y direction
HeightDimension of a cuboid along the z direction
OriginOffsetPosition of the platform coordinate frame origin with respect to the cuboid center, specified as a vector of three elements

Dimensions

Platform meshes, specified as an M-element array of extendedObjectMesh (Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox) objects.

Platform orientations, specified as a 3-by-3-by-M array of rotation matrices, or an M-element array of quaternion objects.
