x = 0;y = 0; r = 0.5;
th = 0:pi/50:2*pi;
xunit = r * cos(th) + x;
yunit = r * sin(th) + y;
h = plot(xunit, yunit);
poly1 = polyshape([0 0 1 1],[1 0 0 1]);
plot(poly1)
I want to find the area of intersection (in units) between a circle and polygon as given above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

One possible way is generating intersection by intersect function, and calculate it's area by area function. The following is an example.
x = 0; y = 0; r = 0.5;
th = 0:pi/50:2*pi;
xunit = r * cos(th) + x;
yunit = r * sin(th) + y;
poly0 = polyshape(xunit(1:end-1),yunit(1:end-1));
poly1 = polyshape([0 0 1 1],[1 0 0 1]);
poly2 = intersect(poly0,poly1);
area(poly2)
The result is:
>> area(poly2)
ans =
0.1962

I have tried using something similar for a project, but am getting an error that states, "unable to use a value of type polyshape as an index'. I tried using this exact code shown above, and still got that error. Any idea why?
