Syntax

oPlotter = orientationPlotter(tp)
oPlotter = orientationPlotter(tp,Name,Value)

Description

oPlotter = orientationPlotter(tp) creates an orientation plotter for use with the theater plot tp.

oPlotter = orientationPlotter(tp,Name,Value) creates an orientation plotter with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Open Live Script

Create a theater plot object and a trajectory plotter. 

tp = theaterPlot('XLimit',[-2 2],'YLimit',[-2 2],'ZLimit',[-2 2]);
op = orientationPlotter(tp,'DisplayName','Orientation',...
    'LocalAxesLength',2);

Create some random rotations.

pose = randrot(20,1);

Loop through the pose information to animate the orientations.

for i=1:numel(pose)
    plotOrientation(op,pose(i))
    drawnow
end

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel X (m), ylabel Y (m) contains 4 objects of type line. One or more of the lines displays its values using only markers These objects represent Orientation, x-Orientation, y-Orientation, z-Orientation.

Input Arguments

Theater plot, specified as a theaterPlot object.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: 'HistoryDepth',6

Plot name to display in legend, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'DisplayName' and a character vector or string scalar. If no name is specified, no entry is shown.

Example: 'DisplayName','Radar Detections'

Number of previous track updates to display, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'HistoryDepth' and a nonnegative integer less than or equal to 100. If set to 0, then no previous updates are rendered.

Marker symbol, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Marker' and one of these symbols.

Size of marker, specified in points as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'MarkerSize' and a positive integer.

Marker outline color, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'MarkerEdgeColor' and a character vector, string scalar, an RGB triplet, or a hexadecimal color code. The default color is 'black'.

Marker outline color, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'MarkerFaceColor' and a character vector, a string scalar, an RGB triplet, a hexadecimal color code, or 'none'. The default is 'none'.

Font size for labeling tracks, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FontSize' and a positive integer that represents font point size.

Gap between label and positional point it annotates, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LabelOffset' and a three-element row vector. Specify the [x y z] offset in meters.

Length of line used to denote each of the local x-, y-, and z-axes of the given orientation, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LocalAxesLength' and a positive scalar. 'LocalAxesLength' is in meters.

Tag to associate with the plotter, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Tag' and a character vector or string scalar. The default value is 'PlotterN', where N is an integer that corresponds to the Nth plotter associated with the theaterPlot.

Tags provide a way to identify plotter objects, for example when searching using findPlotter.
