Rotate 2-D matrix around axes to create Cylinder

Hello,

I'm new to Matlab and am having some problems. I have a 2-D matrix (r,z) that I'm trying to turn into a cylinder. I would like to rotate the matrix 360 degrees around the z axis and than make an image of the resulting cylinder. Is this possible?

Hope anybody can help me with this.

Thanks in advance,

Maartje

Can you give an example? What do you mean with "rotatte" and "make image"?

You can of course create a matrix (r,phi,z), transform with pol2cart into cartesian (x,y,z) and then use plot3.
