How to make a matrix has more pixels?

Hi,

Apparently when I use the following code I am creating a matrix with 15x15 pixels.

dmin1=2;
n=15; 
manhattan=ones(n,n,3); 
manhattan(2:dmin1:end,2:dmin1:end,:)=0;
imwrite(manhattan,'matrix_15x15.png');

How can I make it bigger, in order to see the black points (the 0's) bigger?

To make something like:

Supose that the 0's are 32 pixel...

Then I do something like 32 pixel are 20 meters...

So, I need the 0's be bigger than 1 pixel.

Any suggestion?

Increase n.

With the actual code, I have this:

If I increase the n for, for example 20 I get:

But this is what I see in axes of guide, cause if I look to the image saved with imwrite I get what is in the anex.

The black parts are supposed to be buildings and with the ginput I put rectangles. These rectangles probably are going to be much bigger than the buildings which is a huge problem.

checkerboard() https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/checkerboard.html

Hi Walter,

The problem of that function is putting the squares in check position. It has to be like this

I am trying to make a manhattan grid. The balck squares are buildings and the white are street's.

I am trying to understand if it's possible do this with mandist function, but if is, I am not being well succeed.

[Walter Roberson]

At the command line command

type checkerboard

and study how they do it.

[Oliver Lestrange]

Walter Roberson, are you saying that with the checkerboard function I can display the squares in other positioning other than chess?

[Walter Roberson]

I am suggesting that checkerboard() is a function that creates a regular repeated pattern, and that studying how it is coded would give you ideas on how to form the regular repeated pattern that you want.

If you want to increase the size of the black and white parts in equal proportion, you can use the repelem function.

Hi Rik,

Thanks a lot, it works, I didn't know this function.

Oddly now a rectangle putted with the help of the ginput function, stopped work.

It doesn't show the rectangle

function insertAntenna_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to insertAntenna (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

handles  = guidata(hObject)
[x_gNB, y_gNB] = ginput(1);

handles.nAntena = handles.nAntena + 1
Antena_x = x_gNB;
Antena_y = y_gNB;

rectangle('Position', [(Antena_x - handles.Rwidth/2) (Antena_y - handles.Rheight/2)...
    handles.Rwidth handles.Rheight], 'FaceColor', 'r','LineStyle', 'none');

handles.Antena( handles.nAntena ).Antena_x = Antena_x;
handles.Antena( handles.nAntena ).Antena_y = Antena_y;

if ~myIsField(handles.Antena(1), 'handles.Antena(1).Info')
    handles.Antena(1).Info = readAntenna('Ant60.pln', strcat(pwd,'\'));
end

handles.Antena(handles.nAntena).Info = handles.Antena(1).Info;
handles.Antena( handles.nAntena ).Altura = handles.Antena_Altura;

guidata(hObject, handles)

Any ideia why?

Did you make sure the Position property of the rectangle take the new image dimensions into account?

[Oliver Lestrange]

The width and height were smaller than I thought. Thanks Rik
