% X,Y differ only in the trig fcn used, so use an anon fcn handle,
% then inline X,Y into the polyshape call.

Warning: Polyshape has duplicate vertices, intersections, or other inconsistencies that may produce inaccurate or unexpected results. Input data has been modified to create a well-defined polyshape.
