go = rectangle(...)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| pos | position and size, specified as a four-element vector [x y w h]. x and y set the location of the lower-left corner, w and h set the width and height in data units. |
| cur | curvature, specified as a scalar or a two-element vector [horizontal vertical], with each value in the range [0, 1]. 0 gives sharp corners and 1 gives the maximum curvature. Use [1 1] to draw an ellipse. |
| ax | a scalar graphics object value: parent container, specified as an axes. |
| propertyName | a scalar string or row vector character. |
| propertyValue | a value. |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| go | a graphics object: rectangle type. |
rectangle('Position', pos) draws a rectangle at the location and size given by pos = [x y w h].
rectangle('Position', pos, 'Curvature', cur) draws a rectangle with rounded corners. The horizontal curvature is the fraction of the width that is curved along the top and bottom edges; the vertical curvature is the fraction of the height that is curved along the left and right edges. A scalar value applies the same curvature length to both directions, using the shorter side, so the corners are circular. Use [1 1] to draw an ellipse.
rectangle(..., propertyName, propertyValue, ...) sets optional properties using name-value pairs, such as FaceColor, EdgeColor, LineStyle and LineWidth.
By default a rectangle has no fill (FaceColor is 'none'), a dark grey outline (EdgeColor), a solid line style and a line width of 0.5 point.
go = rectangle(...) returns the handle go to the created rectangle object.
