stereoview - Ver 7.0

Stereoview plots two stereoscopical images of any 3D plot.

Description

STEREOVIEW Stereoscopic plotting function

  stereoview grabs the current 3D figure and plots it in two
  stereoscopical images.

  Once launched, you can:
  1) Choose the interocular distance coefficient (idc)
  that is defined as the ratio between the distance from the Camera
  Target and the interocular distance; a value of 30 works fine.

  2) Choose the viewing mode: 'parallel' or 'crossed'.

3) Rotate the view. In the Free Rotation mode, use:
  a, s, d, w to rotate,
  x to stop.

  4) Start a continuous rotation of the view; x to stop.

  5) Print the two stereoscopical views in separate images. You
  may change the options for the saved images directly in the .m file.

  6) choose 'perspective' or 'orthographic' view.

  Version 4.0 NEWS
  - stop of the continuous rotation with "x"
  - can print the two images

  Version 5.0 NEWS
  - can change the distance between the two
    views to allow easier visualization
  - can change zoom
  - vertical axis bending bug fixed

  Version 6.0 NEWS
  - allows chosing perspective or orthographic
  - unused commands deleted

  Version 7.0 NEWS
  - bug about viewing along z fixed
  - bug about horizontal positioning of plots fixed
  - bug about projection mode fixed
  - figure color preserved
  - renderer: zbuffer
  - figure(2) bug fixed (thanks to Andrew Murray)

Does exactly what it says!

[Janik Zikovsky]

Awesome! Finally, true-3d plots are possible

Great job with this function. I have modified figure properties to span the figure window across a 2048x1024 desktop. Once projected through a passive polarized stereo projectors (based on the GeoWall system, www.geowall.org), I am able to achieve great results.

Hi, sorry I am stupid. How shall I finally view the plots ? with some special glasses ? I don't understand... thx

This tool is brilliant. You can view real 3D.
Is it possible to set the left figure in green and the right one in green?
I know about the "colormap([1 0 0])" for red. But that changes both graphics.
Is there a way to change the colors apart?

For Tammo Tammo:
you need to look at the figure with parallel or crossed eyes. Look on Google.

For rorame00 User:
It is not so simple to turn stereoview in an anaglyph-maker. I'm working on that. Please let me know if you find a good idea.

Very easy to use. I was using v6 but when I ran v7 it froze MATLAB for the same data (5k points scatter3). I have gone back to v6 (luckily still had it).
Future suggestion: when rotating continuously it would be better if you could update both figures together (not sure how). In my case the 5k points delays redraw of 2nd image and disrupts stereo image during the delay

Excellent! Works tremendously well, and is particularly good in conjunction with http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/7401 for exporting to SVG.
