    Syntax

    isSet = setRadius(rrCorners,radius)
    isSet = setRadius(rrCorners,radius,ErrorOnFallback=err)

    Description

    isSet = setRadius(rrCorners,radius) sets the corner radius fillet to the specified radius and recomputes the corner geometry. A corner radius fillet is the curved corner that connects adjacent road segments. The corner radius determines the size of the curve and defines the shape of the corner road and the path the vehicle takes while making a turn. When you specify a new radius, RoadRunner recalculates the curved corner geometry after applying the specified radius.

    example

    isSet = setRadius(rrCorners,radius,ErrorOnFallback=err) sets the corner radius fillet to the specified radius and recomputes the corner geometry. If RoadRunner is unable to construct a valid corner with the specified radius, it returns an error.

    Create a junction with four roads and modify the corner radius for the junction created.

    Create a roadrunner object, specifying the path to an existing project. For example, this code shows the path to a project, on a Windows® machine, located at "C:\RR\MyProject". This code assumes that RoadRunner is installed in the default location, and returns an object, rrApp, that provides functions for performing basic tasks such as opening, closing, and saving scenes and projects.

    rrApp = roadrunner(ProjectFolder="C:\RR\MyProject");

    Note

    If you are opening RoadRunner from MATLAB® for the first time, or if you have changed the RoadRunner installation location since you last opened it from MATLAB, you can use the roadrunnerSetup function to specify new default project and installation folders to use when opening RoadRunner. You can save these folders between MATLAB sessions by selecting the Across MATLAB sessions option from the corresponding dropdown.

    Create a new RoadRunner scene in the current project by using the newScene function, specifying the roadrunner object rrApp.

    newScene(rrApp);

    Create a RoadRunner authoring API object, rrAPI, that references the object for the current RoadRunner instance rrApp. The rrApi object enables you to programmatically author scenes, such as by adding and modifying road and lane components, using MATLAB.

    rrApi = roadrunnerAPI(rrApp);

    Extract the object for your scene from the Scene property of the authoring API object rrApi. The extracted Scene object enables you to specify the scene in which to add scene components, such as roads and lanes.
