Identifying elements of an array in clockwise order
Show older comments
If I have an array A such that it contains vertex coordinates of polygons where
A=[ 1 1;
2 0;
4 0;
10 1;
0 0;
1 5;
11 2;
0 2;
2 2;
.
.
.
x y ]
and C such that it contains the collection of vertex locations in A of a polygon where C is something like:
C = {[ 2, 5, 8, 9]
.
.
.
[x,y locations in A]}
C{1} contains the coordinates (2,0), (0,0), (0,2), and (2,2) from A. I want to take say, the first elements of C{1}, and sort C such that the remaining element order in C{1} moves clockwise (or counter-clockwise) in terms of element location with respect to polygon generation. So C{1}(1)=2 (2,0), and the remaining elements would follow as such:
C{1}(2)=9 (2,2)
C{1}(3)=8 (0,2)
C{1}(4)=5 (0,0)

Do you have the mapping toolbox?

I was thinking at poly2cw actually. it will order the vertexes in the clock wise order, then you can reorganize it so you have first the vertex of your choice
