Syntax

plotTrajectory(trajPlotter,trajCoordList)

Description

example

plotTrajectory(trajPlotter,trajCoordList) specifies the trajectories to show in the trajectory plotter, trajPlotter. The input argument trajCoordList is a cell array of M-by-3 matrices, where M is the number of points in the trajectory. Each matrix in trajCoordList can have a different number of rows. The first, second, and third columns of each matrix correspond to the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of a curve through M points that represent the corresponding trajectory.

This example shows how to create an animation of a platform moving on a trajectory.

First, create a trackingScenario and add waypoints for a trajectory.

ts = trackingScenario;
height = 100;
d = 1;
wayPoints = [ ...
    -30   -25   height;
    -30    25-d height;
    -30+d  25   height;
    -10-d  25   height;
    -10    25-d height;
    -10   -25+d height;
    -10+d -25   height;
    10-d -25   height;
    10   -25+d height;
    10    25-d height;
    10+d  25   height;
    30-d  25   height;
    30    25-d height;
    30   -25+d height;
    30   -25   height];

Specify a time for each waypoint.

elapsedTime = linspace(0,10,size(wayPoints,1));

Next, create a platform in the tracking scenario and add trajectory information using the trajectory method.

target = platform(ts);
traj = waypointTrajectory('Waypoints',wayPoints,'TimeOfArrival',elapsedTime);
target.Trajectory = traj;

Record the tracking scenario to retrieve the platform's trajectory.

r = record(ts);
pposes = [r(:).Poses];
pposition = vertcat(pposes.Position);

Create a theater plot to display the recorded trajectory.

tp = theaterPlot('XLim',[-40 40],'YLim',[-40 40]);
trajPlotter = trajectoryPlotter(tp,'DisplayName','Trajectory');
plotTrajectory(trajPlotter,{pposition})

Animate using the platformPlotter.

restart(ts);
trajPlotter = platformPlotter(tp,'DisplayName','Platform');

while advance(ts)
    p = pose(target,'true');
    plotPlatform(trajPlotter, p.Position);
    pause(0.1)

end

This animation loops through all the generated plots.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Trajectory plotter, specified as a trajectoryPlotter object.

Coordinates of trajectories to show, specified as a cell array of M-by-3 matrices, where M is the number of points in the trajectory. Each matrix in trajCoordList can have a different number of rows. The first, second, and third columns of each matrix correspond to the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of a curve through M points that represent the corresponding trajectory.

Example: coordList = {[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7,8,9];[4 2 1; 4 3 1];[4 4 4; 3 1 2; 9 9 9; 1 0 2]} specifies three different trajectories.
