Syntax

polyout = intersect(poly1,poly2)

polyout = intersect(polyvec)

[polyout,shapeID,vertexID] = intersect(poly1,poly2)

[polyout,shapeID,vertexID] = intersect(polyvec)

[in,out] = intersect(poly1,lineseg)

___ = intersect(___,Name=Value)

Description

example

polyout = intersect(poly1,poly2) returns a polyshape object whose regions are the geometric intersection of two polyshape objects. The intersection contains the regions of poly1 and poly2 that overlap. poly1 and poly2 must have compatible array sizes.

example

polyout = intersect(polyvec) returns a polyshape object whose regions are the intersection of all the polyshape objects in the vector polyvec. The intersection contains the regions where all the polyshape objects in polyvec overlap.

example

[polyout,shapeID,vertexID] = intersect(poly1,poly2) also returns vertex mapping information from the vertices in polyout to the vertices in poly1 and poly2. The intersect function only supports this syntax when poly1 and poly2 are scalar polyshape objects.

The shapeID elements identify whether the corresponding vertex in polyout originated in poly1, poly2, or was created from the intersection. vertexID maps the vertices of polyout to the vertices of poly1, poly2, or the intersection.

[polyout,shapeID,vertexID] = intersect(polyvec) returns vertex mapping information from polyout to each element of the vector of polyshape objects polyvec.

example

[in,out] = intersect(poly1,lineseg) returns the line segments of lineseg that are inside and outside of poly1. The matrix lineseg has two columns. The first column defines the x-coordinates of the line segments and the second column defines the corresponding y-coordinates.

intersect supports this syntax only when poly1 is a scalar polyshape and lineseg contains no self-intersections.

___ = intersect(___,Name=Value) specifies options using one or more name-value arguments in addition to any of the input argument combinations in previous syntaxes. You can use any of the output argument combinations in previous syntaxes. For example, polyout = intersect(poly1,poly2,Simplify=false) returns a polyshape object whose vertices have not been modified regardless of intersections or improper nesting.

Vertex Mapping

Open Live Script

Create two polygons and compute their intersection. Display the vertex coordinates of the intersection and the corresponding vertex mapping information.

poly1 = polyshape([0 0 1 1],[1 0 0 1]);poly2 = polyshape([0.75 1.25 1.25 0.75],[0.25 0.25 0.75 0.75]);[polyout,shapeID,vertexID] = intersect(poly1,poly2);[polyout.Vertices shapeID vertexID]
ans = 4×4 0.7500 0.2500 2.0000 1.0000 0.7500 0.7500 2.0000 2.0000 1.0000 0.7500 0 0 1.0000 0.2500 0 0

The first two vertices of the intersection originated in poly2, since the corresponding values in shapeID are 2.These vertices are the first and second vertices in the property poly2.Vertices, respectively, since their corresponding values in vertexID are 1 and 2. The last two vertices of polyout were created from the intersection because the corresponding values in shapeID and vertexID are 0.

Intersection of Polygon and Line

Open Live Script

Create a rectangular polygon and a line segment.

poly1 = polyshape([0 0 1 1],[1 0 0 1]);lineseg = [0.5 0.5; 1.5 1.5];

Compute the intersection of the polygon with the line segment, and determine which sections of the line segment are inside or outside of the polygon.

[in,out] = intersect(poly1,lineseg);plot(poly1)hold onplot(in(:,1),in(:,2),'b',out(:,1),out(:,2),'r')legend('Polygon','Inside','Outside','Location','NorthWest')

Line segment coordinates, specified as a two-column matrix. The first column defines the x-coordinates of the line segments and the second column defines the y-coordinates. lineseg must have at least two rows and contain no self-intersections.

Data Types: double | single | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: polyout = intersect(poly1,poly2,Simplify=false)

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: polyout = intersect(poly1,poly2,"Simplify",false)

KeepCollinearPointsKeep collinear points as vertices
true or 1 | false or 0

Keep collinear points as vertices, specified as one of these numeric or logical values:

  • 1 (true) — Keep all collinear points as vertices.

  • 0 (false) — Remove collinear points so that the output polyshape contains the fewest vertices necessary to define the boundaries.

If you do not specify the KeepCollinearPoints name-value argument, the function assigns its value according to the values used during creation of the input polyshape objects.

  • If each input polyshape kept collinear points as vertices during creation, then the function sets KeepCollinearPoints to true.

  • If each input polyshape removed collinear points during creation, then the function sets KeepCollinearPoints to false.

  • If the collinear points of the input polyshape objects were treated differently, then the function sets KeepCollinearPoints to false.

SimplifyModify polygon vertices to simplify output
true or 1 (default) | false or 0

Modify polygon vertices to simplify, specified as one of these numeric or logical values:

  • 1 (true) — Modify polygon vertices to produce a well-defined polygon when the output vertices produce intersections or improper nesting.

  • 0 (false) — Do not modify output vertices regardless of intersections or improper nesting. Computing with ill-defined polygons can lead to inaccurate or unexpected results.

Output Arguments

collapse all

polyout — Output polyshape
scalar | vector | matrix | multidimensional array

Output polyshape, 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 input 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). polyout 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 provide a single input argument polyvec, then polyout is a scalar polyshape object.

shapeID — Shape ID
column vector

Shape ID, returned as a column vector whose elements each represent the origin of a vertex in the intersection.

  • The length of shapeID is equal to the number of rows in the Vertices property of the output polyshape.

  • The elements of shapeID depend on the number of input arguments:

    • If you provide two input arguments poly1 and poly2, then they must be scalar polyshape objects. The value of an element in shapeID is 0 when the corresponding vertex of the output polyshape was created by the intersection. An element is 1 when the corresponding vertex originated from poly1, and 2 when it originated from poly2.

    • If you provide one input argument polyvec that is a vector of polyshape objects, then shapeID contains the element index of polyvec from which the corresponding output vertex originated. The value of an element is 0 when the corresponding vertex was created by the intersection.

Data Types: double

vertexID — Vertex ID
column vector

Vertex ID, returned as a column vector whose elements map the vertices in the output polyshape to the vertices in the polyshape of origin. The elements of vertexID contain the row numbers of the corresponding vertices in the Vertices property of the input polyshape. An element is 0 when the corresponding vertex of the output polyshape was created by the intersection.

The length of vertexID is equal to the number of rows in the Vertices property of the output polyshape. If you provide two input polyshape objects, then intersect only supports this output argument if they are scalar.

Data Types: double

in — Inside coordinates
two-column matrix

Inside line segment coordinates, returned as a two-column matrix. The first column of in contains the x-coordinates of the line segments inside the input polyshape, and the second column contains the corresponding y-coordinates.

Data Types: double

out — Outside coordinates
two-column matrix

Outside line segment coordinates, returned as a two-column matrix. The first column of out contains the x-coordinates of the line segments outside of the input polyshape, and the second column contains the corresponding y-coordinates.

Data Types: double

The point of intersection is the meeting point of two straight lines. If two crossing straight lines have the same equations, the intersection point can be found by solving both equations at the same time.

How do you find the intersection of two? ›

To find the point of intersection algebraically, solve each equation for y, set the two expressions for y equal to each other, solve for x, and plug the value of x into either of the original equations to find the corresponding y-value. The values of x and y are the x- and y-values of the point of intersection.

How do you find the intersection of two graphs? ›

The Intersection Between Two Graphs

You find the point where the graph of f and the graph of g intersects by solving the equation f ( x ) = g ( x ) . Insert x into f ( x ) = − x − 1 because it's the simpler expression of the two. You could also insert x into g ( x ) , but it would be more work.

What is the function of intersect in Matlab? ›

Description. intersect( shape1,shape2 ) plots a shape generated by intersecting the shape1 and shape2 . Alternatively, you can also use the '&' operator to intersect the shapes ( shape1 & shape2 ).

What is the formula for point of intersection? ›

The point of intersection formula is used to find the point of intersection of the two lines, that is the meeting point of two lines. These two lines can be represented by the equation a1x+b1y+c1=0 and a2x+b2y+c2=0, respectively. It is possible to find point of intersection of three or more lines.

How to find the intercept of a graph in Matlab? ›
