Getting current position (x,y) of a 2D object created with a patch

x = [-9  , 3, 1, 9, 1, 3, -9 ];
y = [-3,-3,-9/2, 0, 9/2, 3, 3];
g = hgtransform;
patch('XData',x,'YData',y,'FaceColor','yellow','Parent',g)

The patch moves consistently through the plot, at 2 points it stops to correct its angle. Is there anyway to get a hold of its current x&y positions at that point for further use?

p = patch('XData',x,'YData',y,'FaceColor','yellow','Parent',g);
p.Vertices

This should do it.

Hey Jasper, i tried it, the thing about vertices is that it gives me the limitations of the object itself and not its location in the plot.

i found the answer :) so there is no real function, but the object 'g' is a matrix, and by calling g.Matrix i found out that it had the x and y coordinates in it. So now i just get a hold of those specifically and use them for future use.

My problem now is that the 2nd rotation using makehgtform doesnt really work. It sort of moves object instead of rotating.
