racetrack

Create racetrack shape, of circle or rectangle type, on the X-Y plane

Since R2024a

Description

Use the racetrack object to create a racetrack shape centered at the origin and on the X-Y plane.

Creation

Syntax

racetrackshape = racetrack

racetrackshape = racetrack(Name=Value)

Description

racetrackshape = racetrack creates a racetrack shape on the X-Y plane.

racetrackshape = racetrack(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments.

Properties

Name — Name of racetrack shape

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

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

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Name='racetrackshape1')

Data Types: char | string

Type — Type of racetrack shape

'Circle' (default) | 'Rectangle'

Type of racetrack, specified as a 'Circle' or a 'Rectangle'.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Type='Rectangle')

Data Types: char

AnchorPoints — Anchor points for the racetrack shape

AnchorPoints = [1e-3 0; -1e-3 0] (default)

AnchorPoints is a numeric 2-by-2 matrix. Each row defines the X and Y coordinates of the two anchor points in meters.

Example: racetackshape = racetrack(AnchorPoints = [2e-2 3e-2;4e-2 6e-2])

Data Types: double

Length — Length of racetrack shape

5e-3 (default) | positive scalar

Length of the racetrack shape in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Length=6e-3)

Data Types: double

Width — Width of racetrack shape

1e-3 (default) | positive scalar

Width of the racetrack shape in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: racetrackshape = racetrack(Width=6e-3)

Data Types: double
