Hi all,
I have been trying to find an intersection point between two plotted lines however, I used several functions but it doesnot work.. usually the output is 2*0 empty double matrix ... Actually i need the number of intersection ... ?
here is the code and attached are the data
clearvars
clc;
close all
Data = readmatrix('data_tangent.xlsx')
x = Data(:,1);
y = Data(:,2);
[ymax,idx] = max(y);
Binit = x(1:5) \ y(1:5)
Bymax = x(idx) \ y(idx)
Line_init = x*Binit;
Line_initv = Line_init <= ymax;
Line_ymax = x*Bymax;
Line_ymaxv = Line_ymax <= ymax;
figure
plot(x, y)
hold on
plot([0;x(Line_ymaxv)], [0;Line_ymax(Line_ymaxv)], '-r')
hold off
grid
axis('equal')
xlabel('X')
ylabel('Y')
axis([0 max(x) 0 max(y)])
x1=x(Line_ymaxv)
y1=Line_ymax(Line_ymaxv)
P=InterX([x;y],[x1;y1])
The function i used is from "https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/22441-curve-intersections"

The code I wrote for your previous post, Plot tangent line on part of the curve is designed as requested to have only one intersection, that being at the origin, since both tangent lines were requested to go through the origin, at least as I understood it.
How else would you want to define the two tangent lines?

@Star Strider
Thank you for your feedback,
just one intersect point thats' what I wanna ...
I just wanna a code to let me know the intersection point value
Thank you once again

My pleasure!
The two lines I plotted (only one is shown here) both intersect at the origin, since that is how they were requested and designed. The intersection with the curve is designed to be at ‘ymax’ with the x-coordinate of that intersection being ‘x(idx)’, so nothing further needs to be computed.

Looks like a stress-strain curve. Depending on the material, you could adjust the variable I named cutoff to 0.3*ymax or whatever you want. This code takes the first intersection of the stress-strain curve and interpolates the value for yield.

Line_init = x*Binit;
Line_initv = Line_init <= ymax;
Line_ymax = x*Bymax;
Line_ymaxv = Line_ymax <= ymax;
Line_y = Line_ymax(Line_ymaxv);
trunc_x = x(1:find(Line_ymaxv,1,'last'));
trunc_y = y(1:find(Line_ymaxv,1,'last'));
ii = length(trunc_y);
cutoff = 0.5*ymax; %you can adjust this
SaveMe = [];
while trunc_y(ii) > cutoff
if (Line_y(ii) > trunc_y(ii) && Line_y(ii-1) <= trunc_y(ii-1)) | ...
(Line_y(ii) < trunc_y(ii) && Line_y(ii-1) >= trunc_y(ii-1))
SaveMe = [SaveMe;ii];
end
ii = ii - 1;

m1 = polyfit(x(SaveMe(end)-1:SaveMe(end)),y(SaveMe(end)-1:SaveMe(end)),1);

@Cameron
Thank you for your answer,
I meant if I already have a two lines plotted so I just wanna know the point of intersection ..
So would you able to help me ?
Thank you very much

The answer is in the code I provided as x_cross and y_cross.

@Cameron
Thank you Cameron, but what If I already have my own x and y
x1_y1 as arrays.....
I would appreciate if I can just enter these arrays and got the point of intersection..
Thanks,
