How to plot sphere in sphere coordinates?

10 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
I'm just trying to plot known sphere coordinates:
function sphere(r)
phi = linspace(0,2*pi);
theta = linspace(0,pi);
x = r*cos(phi).*sin(theta);
y = r*sin(phi).*sin(theta);
z = r*cos(theta);
plot3(x,y,z)
end
However this isn't doing the trick. What have I mathematically confounded?

Your problem is not with conversion or plotting, but defining the coordinates that you want...
[phi,theta] = meshgrid(linspace(0,2*pi),linspace(0,pi));
Also if you didn't know:

yea, but I wanted to go through the rough way ;)
You could have said additionally that I need to swap plot3(x,y,z) with mesh(x,y,z), but all in all you've been nudging me in the right direction. Thx

sure thing. if you decide you don't want the rough way and you haven't seen it, check
[X,Y,Z] = r*sphere(n)
mesh(X,Y,Z)
% surf(X,Y,Z) % filled in faces

function sphere(r)
phi = linspace(0,2*pi);
theta = linspace(0,pi).'; % first change
x = r*cos(phi).*sin(theta);
y = r*sin(phi).*sin(theta);
z = r*cos(theta)+0*phi; % second change, make z same-size 2d array as x and y
plot3(x,y,z);
end

What a hoot! Just one thing: what does
