Cylinder
[X,Y,Z]=cylinder2(x,y,z,r,N,o)
Vectors x, y, z define the central line of cylindrical surface
and vector r defines the radius of cylindrical surface, and has
the same length as x, y, z.
N is the number of points around the circumference. The default value
is N = 100.
Matrix o defines ovality of the directrix (circle) of cylindrical
surface. Its elements take values between 0 and 1 and apply to the
primary and secondary axis of directrix. The defeault values are
o=ones(length(x),2).
Matrices X, Y, Z define the cylindrical surface, surf(X,Y,Z) displays
the cylindrical surface.
Example 1: Horn
f=linspace(0,4*pi,100);
x=cos(f); y=sin(f); z=f; r=-1/99*([1:100]-1)+1;
[X,Y,Z]=cylinder2(x,y,z,r);
Example 2: Pot
x=[0 0 1 1 .5 .5]; y=[0 0 3 3 1.5 1.5];
z=[0 0 2 2 1 1]; r=[0 1 1.5 1.2 1 0];
[X,Y,Z]=cylinder2(x,y,z,r,6); view([-150 25])
Example 3: Plumbing
x=[0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1]; y=[0 .2 .2 1 1 .5 .5 1 1 .2 .2 0];
z=[1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1]; r=[.2 .2 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1 .2 .2];
o=[1 1 .5 .5 .5 1 1 .5 .5 .5 1 1; 1 1 1 1 1 .5 .5 1 1 1 1 1];
[X,Y,Z]=cylinder2(x,y,z,r,8,o);
Example 4: Triangle , closed central line
f=linspace(0,2*pi,4);
x=cos(f-pi/6); y=sin(f-pi/6); z=zeros(4,1); r=0.2*ones(4,1);
[X,Y,Z]=cylinder3(x,y,z,r); view([0 90])
