how to fill the circle with grids?

I have circle coordinates.

what i want to do is to fill the circle with grids.

I attached the example what i want to plot.

the gird's length and width are different.

after all, I will use inpolygon function to exclude the grid(points).

Not sure where this is going, but here's one way.

Instead of doing normal line-circle intersection finding, I'm going to find the intersections between the lines and the polygonal representation of the circle that's actually being drawn. For sake of generalization, the circle is an ellipse at some center.

% an ellipse
r = [5 3]; % radii [x y]
c = [1 1]; % center [x y]
npts = 15; % nominal vertex count

% an arbitrary grid
gridx = [-4.9 -4.8 -4.5 -3.1 -1.6 -1.1 0.4 0.9 2.8 4.2];
gridy = [-4.3 -2.6 -2.3 -1.3 0.86 1.3 1.8 1.9 2.5 4];


% generate symmetric ellipse
npts = ceil((npts-1)/4)*4+1; 
th = linspace(0,2*pi,npts);
xell = r(1)*cos(th) + c(1);
yell = r(2)*sin(th) + c(2);

% find intersection points between grid and polygonal circle approx
bp = ceil([1 npts/4 npts/2 npts]);
gxint1 = interp1(xell(bp(1):bp(3)),yell(bp(1):bp(3)),gridx);
gxint2 = interp1(xell(bp(3):bp(4)),yell(bp(3):bp(4)),gridx);
xell = circshift(xell(2:end),bp(2)); xell = [xell xell(1)];
yell = circshift(yell(2:end),bp(2)); yell = [yell yell(1)];
gyint1 = interp1(yell(bp(1):bp(3)),xell(bp(1):bp(3)),gridy);
gyint2 = interp1(yell(bp(3):bp(4)),xell(bp(3):bp(4)),gridy);

% plot ellipse
plot(xell,yell,'r'); hold on
axis equal

% plot grid
% exterior portion plotted for clarity
for k = 1:numel(gridx)
	xline(gridx(k),'b:'); % draw the whole grid
	plot([1 1]*gridx(k),[gxint1(k) gxint2(k)],'b') % the inscribed portion
end
for k = 1:numel(gridy)
	yline(gridy(k),'b:'); % draw the whole grid
	plot([gyint1(k) gyint2(k)],[1 1]*gridy(k),'b') % the inscribed portion
end
