This discussion focuses on drawing a quadrilateral in MATLAB using line equations instead of coordinates. Users suggest utilizing the plot or fplot functions to visualize the lines, while emphasizing the importance of using the hold on command to prevent unwanted extensions of the lines. To accurately plot the quadrilateral, the intersection points of the line equations must be calculated using MATLAB's solve function, which resolves the linear system formed by the equations.

plot or fplot functions to plot the lines. Remember to use hold on between drawing the graphs.Are you saying that you don't want the sides be extended? In that case, you'll have to solve two equations at a time and find the coordinates of the four vertices. Then draw the lines from one vertex to the other, i.e. range ##x## from one vertex to the other, find ##y## for intermediate points, and plot.If you give the four equations, I can help you start.minhduc515 said:
Two small questions: 1. One axis is X, the other is y or R? 2. Is everything other than x and you a constant (including z)?minhduc515 said:
Finding the intersection between two lines is just a matter of solving a trivial linear system ...minhduc515 said:
