how to draw a hexagon in matlab

To draw a hexagon in MATLAB, we need to provide the (x, y) coordinates of its vertices. We can use some basic trigonometry to calculate these coordinates, knowing the radius of the hexagon and its center position.

Here's an example code to draw a hexagon with a radius of 1 and centered at the origin:

main.m
radius = 1;
center = [0, 0];

% Calculate the vertices coordinates
angle = 2 * pi / 6;
x = center(1) + radius * cos(0:angle:5*angle);
y = center(2) + radius * sin(0:angle:5*angle);

% Plot the hexagon
fill(x, y, 'b');
axis equal;

Explanation:

• radius and center define the size and position of the hexagon.
• angle is the angle between adjacent vertices in radians.
• We use cos and sin functions to calculate the (x, y) coordinates of each vertex as a function of its index (0 to 5).
• Finally, we use the fill function to fill the hexagon with blue color and axis equal to ensure that the aspect ratio is preserved.
