I was looking to make a demo of perspective projection, so I would like to move an image along the principal axis of a camera and resize it based on the focal length, and show how a 3d point gets projected along a ray.  I saw this thread:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/155794

But it uses pcolor - so it would have to be a data set like 'clown', not an actual image.  Is there no way to show something that you might show with imshow() but on a specific plane in 3d?

Thanks,
Dave
