    Scaling of a matrix by a given length

    It is not that easy to answer. I try to summarize. The figure should help. I'm trying to reproduce numerically the shape of an entire sail starting from the knoledge of the shape (x,y,z, coordinates) three stripes (empty dots in the picture). This piece of code deals with the determination of...

    Scaling of a matrix by a given length

    Hi. This is not an homework. It is really silly but I didn't note it. Thanks for telling me. Of course it explains why the loop (while arc_l > l_f) never ends in cases like this one. I have to implement another kind of scaling when the x-axis distance is too high. Cheers Dario

    Scaling of a matrix by a given length

    Hi Christopher, thank you for your help. I don't understand how did you get the polinomial coeff [2.3109e-005 0.2083 11.8645] and if they allow to mantain the same "shape" of the vector y (note that the x and y vectors represents a 2D section of a sail, thus the aim of the scaling is just to...

    Scaling of a matrix by a given length

    Hi,I'm not an expert user of Matlab. I'm having some issues in a scaling procedure in Matlab. Here's the problem: I've a matrix 2xN(called TR2) of x and y coordinates of an arc. I want to scale the y values (2nd row) by imposing that the length of the computed arc (arc_l) is equal (or really...
