getShapeVertices

Find shape vertices

Since R2023b

Syntax

p = getShapeVertices(shape)

Description

p = getShapeVertices(shape) returns all the vertices used to create the input shape as a n-by-3 matrix of Cartesian coordinates.

Examples

Find Vertices of Box

Find the vertices used to construct a box.

Create a box centered at origin with length 2 m and width 1 m. Find its vertices.

box = shape.Box(Length=2,Width=1);
p = getShapeVertices(shape.Box)

p = 8×3
