DiskMatrix

DiskMatrix[r]

gives a matrix whose elements are 1 in a disk-shaped region of radius r, and are otherwise 0.

DiskMatrix[r,w]

gives a w×w matrix containing a disk of 1s with radius r.

DiskMatrix[{r1,r2,…},…]

yields an array whose elements are 1 in an ellipsoidal region with semiaxis ri in the i^(th) index direction.

Details and Options

  • The disk of 1s is always at the center of the region.
  • In DiskMatrix[r] or DiskMatrix[{r1,…}] the matrix or array is sized so as to just include all nonzero elements.
  • The disk-like region is taken to be the best discrete approximation to a circular disk possible given the size of the matrix.
  • DiskMatrix[All,w] gives a w×w matrix containing a disk that is as large as possible.
  • DiskMatrix[…,{w1,w2,…}] gives a w1×w2×… array.
  • DiskMatrix[{r1,…,rn},w] gives a w×…×w array.
  • DiskMatrix[All,{w1,…,wn}] gives a w1×…×wn array containing an ellipsoid that is as large as possible.
  • The radius r need not be an integer; in general elements are 1 if their distance from the center is not more than .
  • For integer r, DiskMatrix[r] yields a (2r+1)×(2r+1) matrix.
