Hi all,
In need of help creating a code to find distances (particularly the smallest distance) from a point inside of a graphed shape to the outside or perimeter of said shape. That said, since it's not an image, bwdist or a function similar to that shouldn't be used for this.
I'm new to matlab and its interfaces, so if there's any way you could leave exactly what I should type in the answers below, or provide a tutorial on how the command works, that would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time! Ethan
Edit: the issue with bwdist for me isn't that I have to convert one graph to an image using an outside program, it's that there are thousands of these same graphs which I can't automate the process of working on if they're being put into image form. This post is specifically to see if anyone knows any other workarounds for bwdist. .

You could convert your graph to an image, so then you could you functions like bwdist. You can use in polygon to convert to binary.
