racetrack

Create racetrack shape, of circle or rectangle type, on the X-Y plane

Since R2024a

Description

Use the racetrack object to create a racetrack shape centered at the origin and on the X-Y plane.

Creation

Description

racetrackshape = racetrack creates a racetrack shape on the X-Y plane.

example

racetrackshape = racetrack(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments.

example

Properties

expand all

Name of the racetrack shape, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Name='racetrackshape1')

Data Types: char | string

Type of racetrack, specified as a 'Circle' or a 'Rectangle'.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Type='Rectangle')

Data Types: char

AnchorPoints is a numeric 2-by-2 matrix. Each row defines the X and Y coordinates of the two anchor points in meters.

Example: racetackshape = racetrack(AnchorPoints = [2e-2 3e-2;4e-2 6e-2])

Data Types: double

Length of the racetrack shape in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Length=6e-3)

Data Types: double

Width of the racetrack shape in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Width=6e-3)

Data Types: double

Create a default racetrack shape.

s = racetrack
s = 
  racetrack with properties:

            Name: "myracetrack"
    AnchorPoints: [2×2 double]
            Type: "Circle"
          Length: 0.0050
           Width: 1.0000e-03

show(s)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myracetrack.

Create a racetrack shape with defined properties

s = racetrack(Type="Rectangle",AnchorPoints=[1e-3, 3e-3;5e-3 7e-3],Length=10e-3)
s = 
  racetrack with properties:

            Name: "myracetrack"
    AnchorPoints: [2×2 double]
            Type: "Rectangle"
          Length: 0.0100
           Width: 1.0000e-03

show(s)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myracetrack.
