Intersecting a Circle with a Line Series

(Originally posted on Doug's MATLAB Video Tutorials blog.)

As with all the videos in this practical example series, the process of developing code is more important than the particular problem that is being solved. In this video, we will be covering topics that are covered in earlier videos:

• Run configurations
• FIND
• Custom plots with Handle Graphics

However now we will be covering them in the context of a larger project. The project came in from e-mail. This MATLAB user wanted to intersect a circle with a line series that extended to the right. There were some subtle algorithm decisions that had to be made so that you did not need to make an exhaustive search.
