ellipsoid - Generate ellipsoid
Syntax
[x,y,z] = ellipsoid(xc,yc,zc,xr,yr,zr,n)
[x,y,z] = ellipsoid(xc,yc,zc,xr,yr,zr)
ellipsoid(axes_handle,...)
ellipsoid(...)
Description
[x,y,z] = ellipsoid(xc,yc,zc,xr,yr,zr,n) generates a surface mesh described by three
n+1-by-n+1 matrices, enabling surf(x,y,z) to plot an ellipsoid with center
(xc,yc,zc) and semi-axis lengths (xr,yr,zr).
[x,y,z] = ellipsoid(xc,yc,zc,xr,yr,zr) uses
n = 20.
ellipsoid(axes_handle,...) plots into the axes with handle
axes_handle instead of the current axes (gca).
ellipsoid(...) with no output arguments plots the ellipsoid as a surface.
Algorithms
ellipsoid generates the data using the following e
