You can plot half of an ellipse in MATLAB using the inbuilt function plot
. The ellipse can be defined by its center, semi-major and semi-minor axes, and its angle. To create the two lines at the ends, you need to plot them separately using line
function.
Here's some example code that plots half of an ellipse centered at (0,0) with semi-major and semi-minor axes of 5 and 3 respectively, and angle of 30 degrees. The two lines at the ends connect to the endpoints of the ellipse's major axis.
