MATLAB: Displaying azimuth angles around a cylinder

anglesazimuthcylindermarktick

Hi,

Is there an easy way to display tick marks in terms of azimuthal angles? For instance, I would like to display azimuth angles around the bottom of the cylinder:

[X,Y,Z] = cylinder;
surf(X,Y,Z)

polar(0,1);hold on
[X,Y,Z] = cylinder;
surf(X,Y,Z)

MATLAB: 4D plot around a cylinder

I am sorry to disappoint you, but the 4D plot is not yet available. You should choose 3 of your variables at a time and plot them together. Visit (type it)

doc plot3
doc mesh
doc surf

I am sure you will find a plotting function that suits your needs.

MATLAB: Cylinder with top code

Those lines create flat upper and lower surfaces. The upper and lower surfaces otherwise would appear conical.

The easiest way to see that is simply to ‘comment them out’:

figure(5)
[x,y,z] = cylinder([0,1,1,0],100);
% z([1,2],:)=0;
% z([3,4],:)=1;
mesh(x,y,z)

Then restore them to get the desired figure.
