MATLAB: Convert two vectors (x and y) to a square matrix

image processing

So here is my problem.

I have two vectors that descibe a plot (a sinusiodal function) and I want to have the discretized matrix of this plot. It means that I want to have a 1 on the curve and 0 everywhere else.

Is this possible ?

x = 0:0.01:6.28;
y = sin(x);
M = ones(size(x,2));
x_int = 1:size(x,2);
y_int = ceil(y * size(y,2)/(abs(min(y))+abs(max(y))) +...
    size(y,2)/(abs(min(y))+abs(max(y))));
y_int(y_int>size(M,2)) = y_int(y_int>size(M,2))-1;
for k = 1:size(y,2)
    M(y_int(k),x_int(k)) = 0;
end
imshow(M)

Found solution:

a(1,1,x,y,p,N,x_min,x_max,y_min,y_max)
function fun = a(j,i,x,y,p,N,x_min,x_max,y_min,y_max)
f = @(x,y,i,j) p(x,y).* N(i).* N(j);
h = @(y) int(f(x,y,i,j), x, x_min, x_max);
fun = vpa(int(h(y), y, y_min, y_max)); 
end

MATLAB: Error using surf X, Y, Z, and C cannot be complex error

The problem is not in solving

x = 0:0.8:pi;
A = sin(x).^(1/3)
B = cos(x).^(1/3)

the operator

.^

solves for either real or complex.

The problem lays in the fact that surf doesn't take in complex values.

To solve the long expression of H, since you are dealing with complex numbers, you have to plot 2 surfs, not one: Real and Imaginary, or Modulus and Phase
