MATLAB: How can you use coneplot to plot a single cone in a specific direction

coneplotgraphicsMATLABplotting

I am having trouble understanding the syntax of coneplot, I would like to use it to plot a single cone, in a specific direction.
For example i'd like be to place cone pointing in the direction of [-1,1,0] at [1,1,1].
Very much appreciate any help!

The coneplot function is a velocity plot.
If you want to plot a single cone, this will get you started:
N = 10;
r = linspace(0, 1, N);
[X,Y,Z] = cylinder(r, N);
figure(1)
h = surf(X, Y, Z);
axis square
rotate(h, [-1 1 0], 90);
I don’t know exactly what you want to do, so you will have to experiment with this. Other functions to consider are cart2sph and sph2cart to produce the rotation you want.
