Determine whether polyshape objects overlap

collapse all in page

Syntax

TF = overlaps(poly1,poly2)
TF = overlaps(polyvec)

Description

TF = overlaps(poly1,poly2) returns a logical array whose elements are 1 when the corresponding element pairs of two polyshape arrays with compatible sizes overlap. TF(i,j) is 1 when the ith polyshape in poly1 overlaps the jth polyshape in poly2.

TF = overlaps(polyvec) returns a logical array whose elements are 1 (true) when the corresponding element pairs of a vector of polyshape objects overlap. TF(i,j) is 1 when the ith polyshape in polyvec overlaps the jth polyshape.

Open Live Script

Create and plot a 1-by-3 vector of polygons, then determine which pairs of polygons overlap.

p1 = polyshape([0 0 1 1],[1 0 0 1]);
p2 = polyshape([0.75 1.25 1.25 0.75],[0.25 0.25 0.75 0.75]);
p3 = polyshape([1.25 1.25 1.75 1.75],[0.75 1.25 1.25 0.75]);
polyvec = [p1 p2 p3];
plot(polyvec)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 3 objects of type polygon.

TF = overlaps(polyvec)
TF = 3×3 logical array

   1   1   0
   1   1   0
   0   0   1

Since the third polygon does not overlap either the first or second polygon, TF(1,3), TF(2,3), TF(3,1), and TF(3,2) are 0. The single point shared by the second and third polygon is not considered an overlapping region.

Input Arguments

collapse all

First input polyshape, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

Second input polyshape, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

polyshape vector.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Overlap indicator, returned as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

  • If you input two polyshape arguments, then they must have compatible sizes. For example, if two polyshape vectors have different lengths M and N, then they must have different orientations (one must be a row vector and one must be a column vector). TF is then M-by-N or N-by-M depending on the orientation of each input vector. For more information on compatible array sizes, see Compatible Array Sizes for Basic Operations.

  • If you input a single polyshape vector with length N, then TF is N-by-N.
