delta

Create delta shape

Since R2021b

Description

Use delta object to create a delta shape on the X-Y plane.

Creation

Syntax

deltashape = delta

deltashape = delta(Name=Value)

Description

deltashape = delta creates a delta shape on the X-Y plane.

deltashape = delta(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example, delta(ReferencePoint=[1 1]) creates a delta shape with the reference point at [1 1]. Properties not specified retain their default values.

Properties

Name — Name of delta shape

'mydelta' (default) | character vector | string scalar

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

Example: deltashape = delta(Name='deltaShape')

Data Types: char

ReferencePoint — Reference point of delta shape

[0 0] (default) | two-element vector

Reference point of delta shape in Cartesian coordinates, specified as a two-element vector of nonnegative elements. Use the reference point to modify the shape relative to its initial position.

Example: deltashape = delta(ReferencePoint=[1 1])

Data Types: double

OuterRadius — Outer radius of delta

0.0016 (default) | positive scalar

Outer radius of the delta, specified as a positive scalar in meters.

Example: shape = delta(OuterRadius=0.0024)

Data Types: double

InnerRadius — Inner radius of delta

0 (default) | nonnegative scalar

Inner radius of the delta, specified as a nonnegative scalar in meters. This value truncates the delta from the tip.

Example: shape = delta(InnerRadius=0.3)

Data Types: double

Angle — Angel of delta

90 (default) | positive scalar

Angel of the delta shape, specified as a positive scalar in degrees. The value of the angle must be greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

Example: shape = delta(Angle=50)

Data Types: double
