dsearch

Search for nearest point

Syntax

• K = dsearch(x,y,TRI,xi,yi)
  K = dsearch(x,y,TRI,xi,yi,S)
  

Description

K = dsearch(x,y,TRI,xi,yi) returns the index into x and y of the nearest point to the point (xi,yi). dsearch requires a triangulation TRI of the points x,y obtained using delaunay. If xi and yi are vectors, K is a vector of the same size.

K = dsearch(x,y,TRI,xi,yi,S) uses the sparse matrix S instead of computing it each time:

• S = sparse(TRI(:,[1 1 2 2 3 3]),TRI(:,[2 3 1 3 1 2]),1,nxy,nxy) 
  

where nxy = prod(size(x)).
