How to connect points in a plot with a line

32 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I'm trying to join some points with a line in a point plot I have created in order to draw the figure shown (ignore the dimensions).
Here's my code so far:
%Data
thta = 60;
L1 = 600;
%Coordinates 1
P1 = [700;-50;0];
P2 = [600;-50;0];
P3 = [600;0;0];
P4 = [600;50;0];
P5 = [700;50;0];
%Coordinates 2
P6 = [500;-70;0];
P7 = [500;0;0];
P8 = [500;70;0];
P9 = [0;-70;0];
P10 = [0;70;0];
%Equation
rotz = [cosd(thta) -sind(thta) 0;sind(thta) cosd(60) 0;0 0 1];
%Final positions 1
pf1 = rotz*P1;
pf2 = rotz*P2;
pf3 = rotz*P3;
pf4 = rotz*P4;
pf5 = rotz*P5;
%Final positions 2
pf6 = rotz*P6;
pf7 = rotz*P7;
pf8 = rotz*P8;
pf9 = rotz*P9;
pf10 = rotz*P10;
% Point Plot
x1 = pf1(1,1);
y1 = pf1(2,1);
x2 = pf2(1,1);
y2 = pf2(2,1);
x3 = pf3(1,1);
y3 = pf3(2,1);
x4 = pf4(1,1);
y4 = pf4(2,1);
x5 = pf5(1,1);
y5 = pf5(2,1);
x6 = pf6(1,1);
y6 = pf6(2,1);
x7 = pf7(1,1);
y7 = pf7(2,1);
x8 = pf8(1,1);
y8 = pf8(2,1);
x9 = pf9(1,1);
y9 = pf9(2,1);
x10 = pf10(1,1);
y10 = pf10(2,1);
figure
g1 = plot(x1,y1,'s')
xlim([-100 800])
ylim([-100 800])
title('Posiciones finales')
hold on
g2 = plot(x2,y2,'s')
plot(x3,y3,'s')
plot(x4,y4,'s')
plot(x5,y5,'s')
plot(x6,y6,'s')
plot(x7,y7,'s')
plot(x8,y8,'s')
plot(x9,y9,'s')
plot(x10,y10,'s')
hold off
Any ideas?
The figure obtained in Matlab is the following:

the points alone are not enough, you have to tell what connected to what points.

also, do you intend to be able to edit thickness, colour and style like in autocad?

Use the line() or plot() function
line([x1, x2], [y1, y2], 'Color', 'w');
plot([x1,x2], [y1,y2], 'w-', 'LineWidth', 2);
Or use the annotation() function to draw arrows.

Well of course it works. I wrote the code for the purple image you showed so I made the lines white. If you plot individual points on a white background, like the code below your sample image, you'll have to make the lines some color other than white, for example red. This works:
line([x3, x4], [y3, y4], 'Color', 'r'); % Line between point 4 and point 5.
plot([x5,x6], [y5,y6], 'r-', 'LineWidth', 2); % Line between point 5 and point 6.

Yeah, it works. I wasn't seeing the lines because of the color. Thank you
