Draw a line using an angle and a point in OpenCV

Question

I have a point and an angle in OpenCV, how can I draw that using those parameters and not using 2 points?

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Just use the equation

x2 = x1 + length * cos(θ) y2 = y1 + length * sin(θ)  

and θ should be in radians

θ = angle * 3.14 / 180.0 

In OpenCV you can rewrite the above equation like

int angle = 45; int length = 150; Point P1(50,50); Point P2;  P2.x =  (int)round(P1.x + length * cos(angle * CV_PI / 180.0)); P2.y =  (int)round(P1.y + length * sin(angle * CV_PI / 180.0)); 

Done!
