MATLAB: Does line() function works in matlab R2015b

errorimagelineMATLABplotplotting

i had run code that used line() function. and then i got error in line() function.

Error using line

vectors must be the same length

Error in file_name (line 45)

line(h, [thisX, thisX], ylim(h), 'Color', 'r');

h is subplot(4, 12, 1:12).

both of thisX variables off course had the same length.

So. does MATLAB R2015B support line() function ? or was i just wrong while placing the arguments ?

Best Answer

ylim(h) is going to be a row vector of length 2. If your thisX is not scalar then the X values you construct would not be the same length .

you cannot use line() to draw a series of vertical lines. line() can only create one line object per call. plot() can create multiple line objects per call.

MATLAB: Legend doens’t work

You start by calling legend('RL') in subplot 211 before you have plotted anything in subplot 211. That would probably give a warning "Warning: Ignoring extra legend entries." An empty legend would be created if you are using R2017b or later, but in releases before that, in this circumstance of the axes being empty, no empty legend would be created.

Then you plot something in subplot 211. Because "hold" is not on in subplot 211, the plotting triggers the axes being cleared including removing the empty legend (if it was there at all.)

Then you switch to subplot 212 and call legend('RL') there before you have plotted anything in subplot 212. That would probably give that warning about extra legend entries. An empty legend would be created if you are using R2017b or later, but in releases before that, in this circumstance of the axes being empty, no empty legend would be created.

Then you plot something in subplot 212. Because "hold" is not on in subplot 212, the plotting triggers the axes being cleared including removing the empty legend.

Then you switch back to subplot 211 and call legend('RC') there in subplot 211. There is an existing line in that subplot so the that line (which was the RL line) would be labeled with the RC legend you just created.

Then you "hold on" in subplot 211, and then you plot RC there. In versions before R2017a, this creation of a new line in the subplot would not result in a second legend entry automatically being created; in R2017a and later, adding the second line to the subplot would result in a second legend entry automatically being added with legend 'data1'.

Then you switch back to subplot 212 and call legend('RC') there in subplot 212. There is an existing line in that subplot so the that line (which was the RL line) would be labeled with the RC legend you just created.

Then you "hold on" in subplot 212, and then you plot RC there. In versions before R2017a, this creation of a new line in the subplot would not result in a second legend entry automatically being created; in R2017a and later, adding the second line to the subplot would result in a second legend entry automatically being added with legend 'data1'.

We can deduce from your question that you are using a version of MATLAB before R2017a.

In versions before R2017a, you should not legend() entries into existence until you have already drawn the lines you want to label, and in those versions the only way to add new entries is to call legend() again with all of the labels for that axes (though there might have been one obscure way to add more legends involving setting DisplayName properties and calling legend with a particular keyword.)

There is more flexibility for adding legend entries dynamically in R2017a and later, but you still need to know a bit of magic.

MATLAB: How to get the both uncontiguous objects in an image as just an object

Try this:

clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 20;
grayImage =imread('Adok_karo1_biner.jpg');
% Show image
figure(1)
h1 = subplot(4, 12, 1:12);
imshow(grayImage);
impixelinfo
title('INPUT IMAGE WITH NOISE')
%% Convert to gray scale
if size(grayImage, 3) == 3 % RGB image
	grayImage=rgb2gray(grayImage);
end
%% Convert to binary image
threshold = graythresh(grayImage);
binaryImage = im2bw(grayImage, threshold);
% Remove all object containing fewer than 15 pixels
binaryImage = bwareaopen(binaryImage,15);
imshow(binaryImage);
axis('image', 'on'); % Display tick marks.
title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Find horizontal profile
h2 = subplot(4, 12, 13:24);
horizontalProfile = sum(binaryImage, 1);
plot(horizontalProfile, 'b-');
title('Horizontal Profile', 'FontSize', fontSize);
grid on;
% Find dividing lines between the characters.
props = regionprops(horizontalProfile == 0, 'Centroid');
xyCentroids = [props.Centroid];
dividingLines = xyCentroids(1:2:end)
for k = 1 : length(dividingLines)
	thisX = dividingLines(k);
	line(h1, [thisX, thisX], ylim(h1), 'Color', 'r');
	line(h2, [thisX, thisX], ylim(h2), 'Color', 'r');
end
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'Outerposition', [0, 0.05, 1, 0.95]);
drawnow;
% Extract each letter.
fontSize = 12;
for k = 1 : length(dividingLines) - 1
	thisX = round(dividingLines(k));
	nextX = round(dividingLines(k+1));
	subplot(4, 12, 24 + k);
	thisLetter = binaryImage(:, thisX:nextX);
	imshow(thisLetter);
	caption = sprintf('Letter #%d', k);
	title(caption, 'FontSize', fontSize);
end

Note that if you have kerning, like with characters 3 and 5, this algorithm won't work and you will have to do a little more work, like label the sub image and if there are two blobs, find their centroids. If there centroids are horizontally separated, then they're two kerned characters and you can nsplit them apart with ismember(). If the centroids are vertically aligned or close to it, then you might consider it as one character that has two parts like an i or j.
