Matlab's built-in "rectangle" command can draw circles if you use the curvature parameter:

rectangle ('position', [0, 0, 1, 1], curvature', [1, 1])

[mohammad t moravej]

nice usage of the pol2cart command.
if one is to use rectangle command to draw a circle,it should be noticed that the axis aspect ratios also should be set to equal ratiots or the circle plot will seem an ellipse.(use daspect([1 1 1])

[PONTHEP VENGSUNGNLE]

Interest!

---
t = linspace(0, 2*pi, Number_of_points);
plot(r*cos(t),r*sin(t),'style')
--
also works well!

a missing function for matlab thanks to author

[Ricardo Peligroso]

Excellent function, couldn't believe that there wasn't a simple in-built one! Thank you! :)

Must work with the specified starting and the ending angle.

Good solution,

[Michael Doube]

Broken; produces repeated coordinate at the start and end position, so the centroid of the points is not the centre of the circle.

[Michael Doube]

Sorry, I see the point - you want to close the circle. Duh.
