Description
|
|
•
|
The polygonplot command is used to create a 2-D plot of a polygon. The polygon's vertices are provided as the list L, the Matrix A, or the Vectors v1 and v2.
|
•
|
The list L must contain 2-element lists or Vectors [x, y], each representing the numeric x- and y-coordinates of a vertex.
|
•
|
The Matrix must be n by 2, where n is any positive integer. Each row of the Matrix contains the x- and y-coordinates of a vertex. If a 2 by n Matrix is given, with n not equal to 2, then it will be automatically transposed. The Vectors, representing the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the vertices respectively, can have any length, but both must have the same length.
|
•
|
If you have a very large number of points, it is recommended that you provide the data as a Matrix with datatype set to float.
|
•
|
Remaining arguments are interpreted as options which are specified as equations of the form option = value. These options are the same as those available for the plot command, as described in plot options.
|
•
|
Multiple polygons may be plotted by providing a list containing polygons in the list or Matrix form, as described above. In this case, the color option value can be a list of n colors, where n is the number of polygons.
