If I start with a matrix of zeros, how can I easily create a Hypocycloid of ones in that matrix?

1 view (last 30 days)
I want to make an Hypocycloid with a matrix of zeros, it is for make the Fourier Transformation of the image. Something like this https://la.mathworks.com/help/images/fourier-transform.html but instead the Rectangle I need a Hypocycloid like the examples of this page https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipocicloide when K=3,4 and 5
I need this in Matlab, but not like a plot because the fast fourier transformation doesn't let make the FT to plots

Please mention the details. How should the "hypocycloid" look like? What have you tried so far? What is "the TF"?

I've just actuallized the question, TF is because I wrote thinking the concept in Spanish ( Transformada de Fourier) but is FT (Fourier Transformation)

A point to start from - it is not hard to expand this to fill elements of the zero matrix:
M = zeros(512, 512);
a = linspace(0, 2*pi, 10000);
% Hypocycloid:
r1 = 1;
r2 = 0.2; % 1/n
x = (r1 - r2) * cos(a) + r2 * cos(a * (1 - r1 / r2));
y = (r1 - r2) * sin(a) + r2 * sin(a * (1 - r1 / r2));
xx = 1 + round((x + 1) / 2 * 511);
yy = 1 + round((y + 1) / 2 * 511);
M(sub2ind(size(M), xx, yy)) = 1;
% Circle:
x = r1 * cos(a);
y = r1 * sin(a);
xx = 1 + round((x + 1) / 2 * 511);
yy = 1 + round((y + 1) / 2 * 511);
M(sub2ind(size(M), xx, yy)) = 1;
colormap([1,1,1; 0,0,0]) % Display the matrix:
image(M + 1)
