How to draw circle with imellipse?

6 views (last 30 days)
Hi
I want to draw a circle with imellipse. I used something like:
AA = imellipse(gca,[xmin ymin radius radius]);
but I can only specify the xmin and ymin of the circle, while I want to specify the center.
How can I do so?
Thanks!
Steven

If you really want to do it with imellipse, you can just compute the xmin and ymin from the diameter. By the way, imellipse takes width and height (diameter) not radius.
diameter = 10;
radius = diameter / 2;
xCenter = 60;
yCenter = 30;
xMin= xCenter - radius;
yMin = yCenter - radius;
hEllipse = imellipse(gca,[xMin, yMin, diameter, diameter]);
% Plot center
hold on;
plot(xCenter, yCenter, 'r+', 'LineWidth', 5, 'MarkerSize', 20);
grid on;

In R2018b you can create a circular ROI with the drawcircle function.

Unfortunately, drawcircle doesn't seem to come with a wait method letting you finalize the position of the circle, nor either features of the imroi classes like positionConstraintFcns.

It does have a 'DrawingArea' option to restrict the drawing area to what you specify.
Have you tried waitfor()?
