How to plot a circle on top of my plotted image

74 views (last 30 days)
I have an image plotted and I wanted to plot a circle on top of it with the same centroid of the image.
I want the radius to be 500 and I want it done with a red color, of somebody could help me with this.
thank you very much

Try this:
grayImage = imread('concordorthophoto.png');
imshow(grayImage);
axis on;
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0 0 1 1]);
[rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(grayImage);
hold on; % Don't let plot blow away the image.
xCenter = columns / 2;
yCenter = rows / 2;
theta = 0 : 0.01 : 2*pi;
radius = 500;
x = radius * cos(theta) + xCenter;
y = radius * sin(theta) + yCenter;
plot(x, y, 'r-', 'LineWidth', 3);
grid on;

%The trick is to do it 3D, and a 2D plot is like a view from above.
% your 2D plot. If your function f(x,y) < m, then
hold on
r = 1;
teta = -pi:0.01:pi;
x = r * cos(teta);
y = r * sin(teta);
plot3(x, y, m * ones(1, numel(x)), 'Color','k')
hold off
