how can I make a cylindrical helix cylinder volume in matlab?

3 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
So I've been surfing the web and I've found multiple examples of making cylindrical helixes using this simple example:
a = 0.5;
c = 5.0;
t = 0:0.01:10*pi;
x = a*sin(t);
y = a*cos(t);
z = t/(2*pi*c);
figure(1)
plot3(x, y, z);
xlabel('x'); ylabel('y'); title('Circula helix');
However, I want to make a 3D volume of this spiral instead i.e. a ones(100,100,100) where the spiral replaces the relevant values to 2. I'm not sure how to approach this problem and it's been bugging me for hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This "extrudes" a shape along a curve. So, extruding a circle along the length of a spiral would result in a 3D spiral.
