Description coneplot(X,Y,Z,U,V,W,Cx,Cy,Cz) plots velocity vectors as cones pointing in
the direction of the velocity vector and having a length proportional to the
magnitude of the velocity vector.

• X, Y, Z define the coordinates for the vector field.
• U, V, W define the vector field. These arrays must be the same size, monotonic,
and 3-D plaid (such as the data produced by meshgrid).
• Cx, Cy, Cz define the location of the cones in vector field. The section "Starting
Points for Stream Plots" in Visualization Techniques provides more
information on defining starting points.
coneplot(U,V,W,Cx,Cy,Cz) (omitting the X, Y, and Z arguments) assumes
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(1:n,1:m,1:p) where [m,n,p]= size(U).
coneplot(...,s) MATLAB automatically scales the cones to fit the graph and
then stretches them by the scale factor s. If you do not specify a value for s,
MATLAB uses a value of 1. Use s =0 to plot the cones without automatic
scaling.
coneplot(...,color) interpolates the array color onto the vector field and
then colors the cones according to the interpolated values. The size of the color
array must be the same size as the U, V, W arrays. This option works only with
cones (i.e., not with the quiver option).
coneplot(...,'quiver') draws arrows instead of cones (see quiver3 for an
illustration of a quiver plot).
