trajectoryPlotter

Create trajectory plotter

Since R2021a

Syntax

trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp)

trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp,Name,Value)

Description

trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp) creates a trajectory plotter for use with the theater plot tp.

trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp,Name,Value) creates a trajectory plotter with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Examples

Plot Trajectories in Theater Plot

Define the coordinates for three trajectories.

coordinates1 = [(1:10)' (2:11)' (11:-1:2)'];
coordinates2 = coordinates1 + 1;
coordinates3 = coordinates1 + 2;

Create a theaterPlot object, set the view angles, and create a trajectoryPlotter object.

tp = theaterPlot;
view(14,50)
trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp,DisplayName="Trajectories");

Plot the three trajectories.

plotTrajectory(trajPlotter,{coordinates1,coordinates2,coordinates3})

Input Arguments

tp — Theater plot

theaterPlot object

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: 'LineStyle','--'

DisplayName — Plot name to display in legend

character vector | string scalar

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'

Color — Trajectory color

'gray' (default) | character vector | string scalar | RGB triplet | hexadecimal color code

Trajectory color, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Color' and a character vector, a string scalar, an RGB triplet, or a hexadecimal color code.

LineStyle — Line style

':' (default) | '-' | '--' | '-.'

Line style used to plot the trajectory, specified as one of these values.

Value	Description
':'	Dotted line (default)
'-'	Solid line
'--'	Dashed line
'-.'	Dash-dotted line

LineWidth — Line width

0.5 (default) | positive scalar

Line width of the trajectory, specified in points size as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LineWidth' and a positive scalar.

Tag — Tag to associate with the plotter

'PlotterN' (default) | character vector | string scalar

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.
