removeSlivers

Remove sliver outliers from boundary of shape

Syntax

s = removeSlivers(shapeobject,slivertol)

s = removeSlivers(shapeobject,slivertol) removes sliver outliers from boundary of shape.

Create two rectangle shapes. Change the length and the center of orientation of the second rectangle to the values shown.

rect1 = antenna.Rectangle;
rect2 = antenna.Rectangle;
rect2.Length = 1e-7;
rect2.Center = [0,0.75];

Add rectangle 1 and rectangle 2.

rect3 = rect1 + rect2

rect3 = 
  Polygon with properties:

        Name: 'mypolygon'
    Vertices: [8x3 double]

show(rect3)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 2 objects of type patch. This object represents PEC.

Remove slivers.

rect4 = removeSlivers(rect3,1e-6)

rect4 = 
  Polygon with properties:

        Name: 'mypolygon'
    Vertices: [4x3 double]

show(rect4)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 2 objects of type patch. This object represents PEC.

Antenna shape with sliver outlier, specified as antenna.Circle, antenna.Rectangle, antenna.Polygon objects, antenna.Ellipse, or the shapes function.

Data Types: function

Sliver tolerance, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

Data Types: double
