Animated 2D ball trajectory with images

18 views (last 30 days)
I'm a beginner so please bear with me if this is elementary.
I have written the code to plot the trajectory of a basketball with the following input parameters:
  1. Shooter's height (Determines launch coordinates)
  2. Defender's height (Checks if the shot is blocked or not)
  3. Separation between the shooter and defender (Additional input to check if the shot is blocked)
I have created a LiveScript which works well and have migrated to AppDesigner which also works well.
My end goal is to show an image of a basketball, the hoop and two human figures (maybe just static images of NBA players)
I want to show the basketball following the predicted trajectory as an animation in 2D.
Please help me with this? Happy to provide any additional information if required.
Thanks in advance!

Could you please help me with the code for this?
I want this image of a basketball to follow the path determined by my ode45 trajectory and move towards the image of the hoop.
Thanks in advance :)

You can plot a filled circle (or an approximation of one) by plotting filled polygons using the fill command.
For example to plot a red filled circle with radius of 3 centered at x=4, y=5 you could use
numPoints = 500; % use more or less to get better or worse approximation of circle
r = 3; % radius
xc = 4;
yc = 5;
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,numPoints);
x = r*cos(theta);
y = r*sin(theta);
fill(x+xc,y+yc,'r')
axis([0 10 0 10])
axis('equal')
You could do this in a loop, with a pause, and keep incrementing xc and yc
