TABLE 1-47: OUTPUT DATA TYPES
ENTRY IN OUT CELL ARRAY
Coord1
Coord2
DESCRIPTION
Coordinate of starting point
Coordinate of ending point
Examples The following command generates a tangent from the unit circle to the point (2, 0)
and plots the result:
c=circ2;
t=tangent(c,[2 0]);
geomplot(c); hold on; geomplot(t);
The following command generates a common tangent between two circles and plots
the result:
c1=circ2;
c2=circ2(1,'pos',[2 2]);
t=tangent(c1,c2,'dom1',4,'dom2',4);
geomplot(c1); hold on; geomplot(c2); geomplot(t);
