endpointcart

[x2, y2, lineslope] = endpointcart(x1, y1, linelength, lineangle, dispout)

Description

Find an end point of the straight line segment from its starting point (x1,y1) and its angle on cartesian coordinate

Inputs

x1
x of start point (first point)
y1
y of start point (first point)
linelength=1;
Length of a line segment
lineangle=0;
Angle of a line segment from start point (first point) toward end point (last point) in (Degree)
dispout=’no’;
Define to display outputs or not (‘yes’: display, ‘no’: not display)

Outputs

x2
x of end point (last point)
y2
y of end point (last point)
lineslope
Slope of a line segment from start point (first point) toward end point (last point) in (Degree)
lineslope=tan(deg2rad(lineangle))

Examples

x1=3;
y1=3;
linelength=5;
lineangle=45;
[x2,y2,lineslope]=endpointcart(x1,y1,linelength,lineangle,'yes');

x1=[0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0];
y1=[0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0];
linelength=5;
lineangle=[0;45;90;135;180;225;270;315];
[x2,y2,lineslope]=endpointcart(x1,y1,linelength,lineangle,'no');
