Hi Priya,
‘. . . plot all the five ellipse generated in 5 iterations in one single figure.’
I don’t see where you get a and b. It must be over the horizon in a part of your code you didn’t post.
The idea in this code snippet here is to create vectors out of a and b as you go through your calculations in a loop, then create a second loop to do the plots.
This is what I would do:
for k1 = 1:5 % LOOP THAT GENERATES ‘a’, ‘b’
% . . . OTHER STATEMENTS IN YOUR CODE . . .
a(k1) = randi(5); % STATEMENT THAT CREATES ‘a’
b(k1) = randi(5); % STATEMENT THAT CREATES ‘b’
% . . . OTHER STATEMENTS IN YOUR CODE . . .
end
%===GENERATE THE ELLIPSE=======
xCenter = 0;
yCenter = 0;
xRadius = a;
yRadius = b;
theta = 0 : 0.01 : 2*pi;
for k1 = 1:length(a)
x = xRadius(k1) .* cos(theta) + xCenter;
y = yRadius(k1) .* sin(theta) + yCenter;
figure(4);
plot(x, y, 'LineWidth', 1)
axis square;
axis equal;
grid on;
xlabel('Longitudinal');ylabel('Lateral');title('Contact ellipse shape')
hold on
end
This plots five ellipses on the same axes using the vector elements of a and b.
