Drawing 'linked' circles
Hi All,
At the moment I am using http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/2876 to draw many circles on one figure. The circles belong to many different classes, lets say 5, so i'm drawing each circle in a colour defining which class it comes from (see image before, just two classes here, so two colours).
What I want to do is some how link where they overlap, such like in image after. So where they overlap to remove the overlapping bits, but not if overlapped! Hopefully this will simply by, at current, very complicated plot!
Any suggestions?
Cheers
James

It seems to me that you could use
CreateEllipticRgn
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
for each circle, then use Region API functions as CombineRgn
Region Functions
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
or GDI+ Region functions such as Region::Intersect
Region Class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
to do the heavy lifting.

Original file names were with underscores, not dashes. It get changed after upload. EE bug? Rename dashes to upderscores, especially for the function file.

Thanks, I shall have a look at all suggestions and get back to you today :)

Wonderful thank you.
If you are using the CIRCLE function to draw the circles, I suppose you still have variables like radius, centers coordinates, axes handles, right? Please confirm and I will send you a code.
