h = pdegplot(___)

Description

example

pdegplot(g) plots the geometry of a PDE problem, as described in g.

example

pdegplot(g,Name,Value) plots with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

h = pdegplot(___) returns handles to the graphics, using any of the previous syntaxes.

Plot the geometry of a region defined by a few simple shapes.

 pdegplot(g)

View the vertex labels, edge labels, and the face label. Add space at the top of the plot to see the top edge clearly.

pdegplot(g,'VertexLabels','on','EdgeLabels','on','FaceLabels','on')
ylim([-.8,.1])

Open Live Script

Import a 3-D geometry file. Plot the geometry and turn on face labels. To see the labels on all faces of the geometry, set the transparency to 0.5.

model = createpde;
importGeometry(model,'BracketWithHole.stl');
pdegplot(model,'FaceLabels','on','FaceAlpha',0.5)

Open Live Script

Import a 3-D geometry file. Plot the geometry and turn on cell labels.

model = createpde;
importGeometry(model,'DampingMounts.stl');
pdegplot(model,'CellLabels','on')

Input Arguments

collapse all

Geometry description, specified by one of the following:

Data Types: double | char | string | function_handle

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: pdegplot(g,'FaceLabels','on')

The argument SubdomainLabels is not recommended. Use FaceLabels for both 2-D and 3-D geometries instead.

Vertex labels for 2-D or 3-D geometry, specified as 'off' or 'on'.

Example: 'VertexLabels','on'

Data Types: char | string

Boundary edge labels for 2-D or 3-D geometry, specified as 'off' or 'on'.

Example: 'EdgeLabels','on'

Data Types: char | string

Boundary face labels for 2-D or 3-D geometry, specified as 'off' or 'on'.

Example: 'FaceLabels','on'

Data Types: char | string

Cell labels for 3-D geometry, specified as 'off' or 'on'.

Example: 'CellLabels','on'

Data Types: char | string

Surface transparency for 3-D geometry, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FaceAlpha' and a real number from 0 through 1. The default value 1 indicates no transparency. The value 0 indicates complete transparency.

Example: 'FaceAlpha',0.5

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Handles to graphics objects, returned as a vector.

Alternative Functionality

App

If you create 2-D geometry in the PDE Modeler app, you can view the geometry from Boundary Mode. To see the edge labels, select Boundary > Show Edge Labels. To see the face labels, select PDE > Show Subdomain Labels.
