MATLAB Function Reference (Volume 2: Graphics)

slice• Create a slice surface in the domain of the volume (surf, linspace).• Orient this surface with respect the the axes (rotate).• Get the XData, YData, and ZData of the surface (get).• Use this data to draw the slice plane within the volume.For example, these statements slice the volume in the first example with arotated plane. Placing these commands within a for loop “passes” the planethrough the volume along the z-axis.for i = −2:.5:2hsp = surf(linspace(−2,2,20),linspace(−2,2,20),zeros(20)+i);rotate(hsp,[1,−1,1],30)xd = get(hsp,’XData’);yd = get(hsp,’YData’);zd = get(hsp,’ZData’);delete(hsp)slice(x,y,z,v,[−2,2],2,-2) % Draw some volume boundarieshold onslice(x,y,z,v,xd,yd,zd)hold offaxis tightview(−5,10)drawnowend2-446
