15.2.2.2 Three-dimensional Function Plotting

— Function File: ezplot3 (fx, fy, fz)
— Function File: ezplot3 (..., dom)
— Function File: ezplot3 (..., n)
— Function File: ezplot3 (h, ...)
— Function File: h = ezplot3 (...)

Plots in three-dimensions the curve defined parametrically. fx, fy, and fz are strings, inline functions or function handles with one arguments defining the function. By default the plot is over the domain -2*pi < x < 2*pi with 60 points.

If dom is a two element vector, it represents the minimum and maximum value of t. n is a scalar defining the number of points to use.

The optional return value h is a graphics handle to the created plot.

          fx = @(t) cos (t);
          fy = @(t) sin (t);
          fz = @(t) t;
          ezplot3 (fx, fy, fz, [0, 10*pi], 100);

— Function File: ezmesh (fx, fy, fz)
— Function File: ezmesh (..., dom)
— Function File: ezmesh (..., n)
— Function File: ezmesh (..., 'circ')
— Function File: ezmesh (h, ...)
— Function File: h = ezmesh (...)

Plots the mesh defined by a function. f is a string, inline function or function handle with two arguments defining the function. By default the plot is over the domain -2*pi < x < 2*pi and -2*pi < y < 2*pi with 60 points in each dimension.

If dom is a two element vector, it represents the minimum and maximum value of both x and y. If dom is a four element vector, then the minimum and maximum value of x and y are specify separately.

n is a scalar defining the number of points to use in each dimension.

If three functions are passed, then plot the parametrically defined function [fx (s, t), fy (s, t), fz (s, t)].

If the argument 'circ' is given, then the function is plotted over a disk centered on the middle of the domain dom.

The optional return value h is a graphics handle to the created surface object.

          f = @(x,y) sqrt(abs(x .* y)) ./ (1 + x.^2 + y.^2);
          ezmesh (f, [-3, 3]);

An example of a parametrically defined function is

          fx = @(s,t) cos (s) .* cos(t);
          fy = @(s,t) sin (s) .* cos(t);
          fz = @(s,t) sin(t);
          ezmesh (fx, fy, fz, [-pi, pi, -pi/2, pi/2], 20);

Plots the mesh and contour lines defined by a function. f is a string, inline function or function handle with two arguments defining the function. By default the plot is over the domain -2*pi < x < 2*pi and -2*pi < y < 2*pi with 60 points in each dimension.

If three functions are passed, then plot the parametrically defined function [fx (s, t), fy (s, t), fz (s, t)].

If the argument 'circ' is given, then the function is plotted over a disk centered on the middle of the domain dom.

The optional return value h is a 2-element vector with a graphics handle for the created mesh plot and a second handle for the created contour plot.

          f = @(x,y) sqrt(abs(x .* y)) ./ (1 + x.^2 + y.^2);
          ezmeshc (f, [-3, 3]);
