addCursor

Add cursor to polar plot angle

Description

example

addCursor(p,angle) adds a cursor to the active polar plot, p, at the data point closest to the specified angle. Angle units are in degrees.

The first cursor added is called 'C1', the second 'C2', and so on.

example

addCursor(p,angle,index) adds a cursor at a specified data set index. index can be a vector of indices.

id = addCursor(___) returns a cell array with one ID for each cursor created. You can specify any of the arguments from the previous syntaxes.

Examples

collapse all

Create a dipole antenna and calculate its directivity at a frequency of 270 MHz.

d = dipole;
D = pattern(d,270e6,0,0:1:360);

Add a cursor to the polar plot at approximately 60 degrees. To place the cursor at 60 degrees, move it there by placing the pointer on the cursor and dragging.

p = polarpattern(D);
addCursor(p,60);

Create a top-hat monopole and plot its directivity at a frequency of 75 MHz.

m = monopoleTopHat;
M = pattern(m,75e6,0,0:1:360);
P = polarpattern(M);

Create a dipole antenna and calculate its directivity at a frequency of 270 MHz.

d = dipole;
D = pattern(d,270e6,0,0:1:360);

Add the directivity pattern of the dipole to the polar plot of the top-hat monopole.

add(P,D);

Add a cursor at approximately 30 degrees to the top-hat monopole polar pattern (data set 1) and at approximately 150 degrees to the dipole polar pattern (data set 2).

addCursor(P,[30 150],[1 2]);

Input Arguments

Example: polarpattern

Angle values at which the cursor is added, specified as a scalar or a vector in degrees.

Example: [45 60]

Data set index, specified as a scalar or a vector.
