example

racetrackshape = racetrack(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments.

Properties

`Name` — Name of racetrack shape
`'myracetrack'` (default) | character vector | string scalar

Name of the racetrack shape, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Name='racetrackshape1')

Data Types: char | string

`Type` — Type of racetrack shape
`'Circle'` (default) | `'Rectangle'`

Type of racetrack, specified as a 'Circle' or a 'Rectangle'.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Type='Rectangle')

Data Types: char

`AnchorPoints` — Anchor points for the racetrack shape
`AnchorPoints = [1e-3 0; -1e-3 0]` (default)

AnchorPoints is a numeric 2-by-2 matrix. Each row defines the X and Y coordinates of the two anchor points in meters.

Example: racetackshape = racetrack(AnchorPoints = [2e-2 3e-2;4e-2 6e-2])

Data Types: double

`Length` — Length of racetrack shape
`5e-3` (default) | positive scalar

Length of the racetrack shape in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Length=6e-3)

Data Types: double

`Width` — Width of racetrack shape
`1e-3` (default) | positive scalar

Width of the racetrack shape in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Width=6e-3)

Data Types: double

racetrack shape

Open Live Script

Create a default recetrack shape

s = racetrack

s = 
  racetrack with properties:

            Name: "myracetrack"
    AnchorPoints: [2×2 double]
            Type: "Circle"
          Length: 0.0050
           Width: 1.0000e-03

show(s)

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