Hi all,
There are some functions which accepts 2 inputs, such as inpolygon. For example:
K>> xv
xv =
1
2
2
1
K>> yv
yv =
1
1
2
2
K>> x = 1.5
x =
1.5000
K>> y = 1.5
y =
1.5000
K>> inpolygon(x, y, xv, yv)
ans =
logical
1
Which is completely fine. However, if I have an array which contains x-y coordinates, such as:
K>> xy = [1.5 1.5]
xy =
1.5000 1.5000
How can I use xy as an input instead of using x and y separately? I do not want to extract x and y manually like:
K>> x = xy(1), y = xy(2)
I want something like:
K>> inpolygon(xy, x, y)
Not enough input arguments.
Error in inpolygon (line 64)
if ~isvector(xv) || ~isvector(yv)
but there is error. Any ideas?

function out = myinpolygon(xy,x,y) ;
out = inpolygon(xy(:,1),xy(:,2),x,y) ;
end
:)

I mentioned in the question that manually separate the inputs as xy(:, 1) and xy(:, 2) is not suitable for my problem.

Well, you might be able to do this for this function, but for functions with multiple input, it wouldn't be convenient to manually separate in a way of
aFunction(xy(:, 1), xy(:, 2), xy(:,3), ......)
It's better to be able to do something about xy, such that the function becomes:
aFunction(xy)
Similar to function output, if knowing how many outputs there are, we can always put them into one cell, see: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/366057-how-to-combine-multiple-output-from-a-function-into-1

@Xiaohan Du: In much the same way you can put the input arguments into one cell array, then convert this to a comma-separated list when supplying them to the function. I would not recommend doing this as a general way of calling function though, as it obfuscated the code and makes debugging harder.

I see, we can do this:
K>> inpt = {1 2}
inpt =
1×2 cell array
[1] [2]
K>> inpolygon(inpt{:}, xv, yv)
ans =
logical
1
such that only 1 input is needed (of course there are still 2 elements in this input).
