In the given image, i plotted 6 points on its border manually. a random point is selected in the image. My objective is to connect all those 6 points with this random point. how to connect those by lines.

It's just 3 lines. Just mask the original image:
binaryImage = grayImage > 150;maskedImage = zeros(size(grayImage)); % Initialize.
maskedImage(binaryImage) = grayImage(binaryImage);See the full demo below:
% Demo by ImageAnalyst
clc; % Clear the command window.
close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear; % Erase all existing variables.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 14;% Read in a standard MATLAB gray scale demo image.
folder = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox\images\imdemos');baseFileName = 'coins.png';% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file') % File doesn't exist -- didn't find it there. Check the search path for it.
fullFileName = baseFileName; % No path this time.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file') % Still didn't find it. Alert user.
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist in the search path folders.', fullFileName); uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage)); return; endendgrayImage = imread(fullFileName);% Get the dimensions of the image.
% numberOfColorBands should be = 1.
[rows columns numberOfColorBands] = size(grayImage);% Display the original gray scale image.
subplot(2, 2, 1);imshow(grayImage, []);title('Original Grayscale Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);% Give a name to the title bar.
set(gcf,'name','Demo by ImageAnalyst','numbertitle','off') % Let's compute and display the histogram.
[pixelCount grayLevels] = imhist(grayImage);subplot(2, 2, 2); bar(pixelCount);grid on;title('Histogram of original image', 'FontSize', fontSize);xlim([0 grayLevels(end)]); % Scale x axis manually.
yl = ylim();line([150 150], [0 yl(2)], 'Color', 'r');% Threshold at 150
binaryImage = grayImage > 150;% Display the original gray scale image.subplot(2, 2, 3);imshow(binaryImage, []);title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);% Mask the image
maskedImage = zeros(size(grayImage)); % Initialize.% Assign values from grayImage that are > 150.
maskedImage(binaryImage) = grayImage(binaryImage);% Display the original gray scale image.subplot(2, 2, 4);imshow(maskedImage, []);title('Masked Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);A binary image has thousands of "zero/false" pixels and thousands of "one/true" pixels, and thousands or millions of linear indices that identify their location. To draw a line in the overlay, you can use plot() or line() but you'll have to provide a starting (x1,y1) coordinate, and an ending (x2,y2) coordinate like this
plot([x1 x2], [y1 y2], 'ro-', 'LineWidth', 3);line([x1 x2], [y1 y2]);Obviously you can tailor the options to your liking. If this doesn't help you then you need to better explain your needs, because it's not clear to us. For example, you may want to "burn" a line into the image rather than draw it in the overlay (in which case I have a demo for that, along with dozens of other demos).
