Can someone help to make function to create points with specific distanace from each other on a polygon made of points in XY-plane with random distance between them.
for example: if I have the blue polygon made of X and Y point (file attached) as in the pictures1, can I create points (red) in as in picture 2. with distance D between them?

This is what interparc does. See John D'Errico's File Exchange: interparc

depends if your y values are equally spaced in the first place.
Is this an appropriate workaround?:
% add this to your plot
hold on;
spacing= 10;
plot(xy(1:spacing:end,1),xy(1:spacing:end,2),'ro');
this is spacing the distance between each index used rather than the actual distance
