Hello everyone,
yesterday I got help from the community for my problem. I try to make a parameterized function of a straight line - radius - straight line (three segments). For simplicity I'd like to enter it in one single function handle as f(t) and adapt the parameter t with intervals. My function looks like this:
geo.x = @(t) t(t<=l_1) * 1 + geo.radius * cos(t(t>= l_1 & t<=l_2) / geo.radius + 1.5*pi) + t(t>=l_2) * cosd(geo.psi);
with l_1 = length of the first interval, l_2 first and second interval and l_3 length of the whole polyline. Due to any reason, matlab cant handle this, when I want to execute the function with the parameter (t = linspace 0,l_3) and returns the following error:
Error using +
Matrix dimensions must agree.
Error in @(t)t(t<=l_1)*1+geo>=l_1&t<=l_2)/geo.radius+1.5*pi)+t(t>=l_2)*cosd(geo.psi)
Can anyone tell me, where my mistake is located?
Thanks in advance! Georg

Georg, you could use something like
l_1 = 1;
l_2 = 2;
radius = 0.5;
psi = 0.2;
t = -1:0.01:5;
geo = @(t) [t(t<=l_1) * 1 , radius * cos(t(t> l_1 & t<l_2) / radius + 1.5*pi) , t(t>=l_2) * cosd(psi)];
plot(t,geo(t))
Note, the function is not quite the same as yours. Essentially, you break up the function into intervals which you then concatenate into one vector.
