Base polygon
% create a non-convex polygon poly = [200 100;200 150;150 150;150 200;50 200;150 100]; % show the polygon figure(1); clf; hold on; drawPolygon(poly, 'linewidth', 2); % set up display axis equal; axis([20 230 70 230]);
Positive expansion
% expand the polygon by a positive distance (outside of the polygon) polyOut = expandPolygon(poly, 10); % draw the expanded polygon drawPolygon(polyOut, 'k');
Negative expansion
% expand the polygon by a negative distance (inside the polygon) polyIn = expandPolygon(poly, -20); % draw the expanded polygon drawPolygon(polyIn, 'g'); % decorate legend('Original', 'Outside', 'Inside')
