plot half of an ellipse with 2 lines at the end in matlab

You can plot half of an ellipse in MATLAB using the ellipse function from the MATLAB File Exchange. Here's an example of how to plot a half ellipse with two lines at the end:

main.m
% First, define the ellipse parameters
a = 5; % major axis length
b = 3; % minor axis length
x0 = 0; % x-coordinate of center
y0 = 0; % y-coordinate of center
theta = pi/4; % rotation angle of ellipse

% Next, generate a set of points on the half ellipse
t = linspace(0, pi, 100);
x = x0 + a*cos(theta)*cos(t) - b*sin(theta)*sin(t);
y = y0 + a*sin(theta)*cos(t) + b*cos(theta)*sin(t);

% Plot the half ellipse and add lines at the ends
figure;
hold on;
plot(x, y, 'b', 'LineWidth', 2);
plot([x(1), x(1)], [y(1), y(1)-2], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);
plot([x(end), x(end)], [y(end), y(end)-2], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);
axis equal;
620 chars
20 lines

This will generate a plot of a half ellipse with two lines extending from each end, as shown below:
