cylinder
Create cylinder
Description
[X,Y,Z] = cylinder
returns three
2
-by-21
matrices containing the
x-, y-, and z-
coordinates of a cylinder without drawing it. The cylinder has a radius of 1 and
20 equally spaced points around its circumference. The bases are parallel to the
xy-plane.
To draw the cylinder, pass X
, Y
, and
Z
to the surf
or
mesh
function.
[X,Y,Z] = cylinder(
returns the
x-, y-, and z-
coordinates of a cylinder with the specified profile curve,
r
)r
, and 20 equally spaced points around its
circumference. The function treats each element in r
as a
radius at equally spaced heights along the unit height of the cylinder. The size
of each coordinate matrix is m
-by-21
,
where m=numel(r)
. However, if r
is a
scalar, then m=2
.
