How to draw a square with specific plot points

Question

2 个投票

I'm trying to create two squares, one larger one, and the other within it.

I attempted to create one using matrices. I create one with x = [0 0 1 1] and y = [0 1 1 0]

I wanted a line to connect each one of the points, to thus create a line. However, when I did that, I only received three lines connect between the dots for some reason. The bottom points (0,0) and (1,0) for some reason were not connected. I then attempted to make a second square, and the same thing happened, with the two lower points in regards to their Y points did not connect. I tried using the rectangle function as well, but can't get a square within a square to appear. Any help would be great. Thanks

You need 5 points - the last one is to "close off" the square, otherwise it won't be closed because you didn't draw the line back to the starting point. So, try this

% Draw first, outer rectangle.

x1=0;

x2=1;

y1=0;

y2=1;

x = [x1, x2, x2, x1, x1];

y = [y1, y1, y2, y2, y1];

plot(x, y, 'b-', 'LineWidth', 3);

hold on;

% Draw the second, inner rectangle.

x1=0.25;

x2=.75;

y1=0.25;

y2=.75;

x = [x1, x2, x2, x1, x1];

y = [y1, y1, y2, y2, y1];

plot(x, y, 'r-', 'LineWidth', 3);

% Define the plot region outer limits of the axes.

xlim([-0.5, 1.5]);

ylim([-0.5, 1.5]);

grid on;

axis equal % Make sure the aspect ratio is correct so that they look like squares.

perfect!

If you ever had to create two similar objects like this (for example two squares), would you recommend going about it another way? I tried with the rectangle function as well, it seemed potentially more convenient.

Once again, thanks for the response.

I think the way I did it is easier to understand than rectangle. In my mind I just visualize starting at the upper left corner and marching around the square in a clockwise fashion. First I do the x's then I do the y's. And so it's really quick for me to construct the 5 element x and y matrices.
