find values for the equation of a circle

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have the equation of a circle:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 - r^2 = 0
a, b and r are known values but I would like to find the values of x and y from a predetermined coordinate matrix which satisfies the equation.
example: a = 2, b = 2, r = 2
A =
1 2
1 3
2 4
hence the last row in A(2,4) would satisfy the equation. i.e. x = 2, y = 4
this is what I've tried so far:
a = 2;
b = 2;
r = 2;
x = find(A(:,1);
y = find(A(:,2);
solve((x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 - r^2 == 0)

a = 2; b = 2; r = 2;
A = [1 2;1 3;2 4];
B = A((A(:,1)-a).^2+(A(:,2)-b).^2==r^2,:);
B contains the coordinate pairs, if any, that lie on the circle. Note that if you need this for values of a, b, and c which are not integers, it is best to allow a small tolerance for round-off errors rather than demanding exact equality in the equation.

That was an error. I have now corrected it. My apologies.

I have another question related to this. Say:
A = 1 2
1 3
2 4
4 2
then the last two values would satisfy and hence display 2,4 and 4,2.
What I would like to know is how this code would change if i set limits. Say I want to display only the value that is within the limits of +/-1 of a & b.
i.e. it would only display 2,4
