Description

view3d Interactively rotate, zoom and pan the view of a 3-D plot
 
VIEW3D ROT turns on mouse-based 3-D rotation
VIEW3D ZOOM turns on mouse-based 3-D zoom and pan
VIEW3D OFF turns it off
 
VIEW3D(FIG,...) works on the figure FIG
 
Double click to restore the original view
 
- hit 'z' key over the figure to switch from ROT to ZOOM
- hit 'r' key over the figure to switch from ZOOM to ROT
 
in ROT mode:
- press and hold left mouse button to rotate about screen xy axis
- press and hold middle mouse button to rotate about screen z axis

in ZOOM mode:
- press and hold left mouse button to zoom in and out
- press and hold middle mouse button to move the plot

Provides flexible mouse control of 3-D view- but a dry description of functionality doesn't do it justice. VIEW3D is very nice, very pretty.

[Lina Chang]

It's very nice to be able to manipulate plot views via the mouse.

[S Schuberth]

very good, but before usage try this:

set(gcf,'doublebuffer','on')

this will stop the flickering of the plot.

[An Wei]

very good!
My GUI can compile and become a executive program with view3d!

[Mujahid Sultan]

Simply Superb

[Guglielmo Rubinacci]

very good

[Nima Moshtagh]

nice work!!

[KW Lee]

Exactly what I was looking for. Great!!

[Daniel Bernasconi]

Very neat. Replace 'extend' with 'alt' in both places if you've only got a two-button mouse. Pan seems to go a bit unstable if you drag right to the edge of the screen.

[ming zhang]

very good!

[Matt Arth]

Exactly what is required for viewing 3D plots.
