sliceSlicing with a Nonplanar SurfaceYou can slice the volume with any surface. This example probes the volumecreated in the previous example by passing a spherical slice surface throughthe volume.[xsp,ysp,zsp] = sphere;slice(x,y,z,v,[-2,2],2,-2) % Draw some volume boundariesfor i = -3:.2:3hsp = surface(xsp+i,ysp,zsp);rotate(hsp,[1 0 0],90)xd = get(hsp,’XData’);yd = get(hsp,’YData’);zd = get(hsp,’ZData’);delete(hsp)hold onhslicer = slice(x,y,z,v,xd,yd,zd);axis tightxlim([-3,3])view(-10,35)drawnowdelete(hslicer)hold offendThe following picture illustrates three positions of the spherical slice surface asit passes through the volume.2-448
