A method of shape2d.
plot of a two dimensional shape, its outline in polar coordinates about its centre; MATLAB’s shape2d/plot
Syntax
h = plot(shape)
The outline about its centre.
h = plot(shape, normalize=True, plain=True)
Scaled to area 1, without grid and labels.
Description
The outline is shifted to the mean of its vertices and drawn as a closed polar line, the angle measured in the plane of the map as its frame’s plotting convention shows it. Further keywords go to matplotlib’s plot.
Input
shape |
shape2d, a closed outline, as characteristicShape returns |
Keywords
| keyword | default | description |
|---|---|---|
lineWidth |
1.0 |
the width of the line in points |
displayName |
None |
the name of the line in a legend |
color |
None |
the colour of the line, a name or an RGB triple |
normalize |
False |
scale the shape to area 1, for comparing the form of shapes of different size |
plain |
False |
leave out the polar grid and the radial labels |
how2plot |
None |
the plotting convention; by default that of the shape’s frame |
Output
h |
matplotlib Line2D, the outline drawn |
