MATLAB Function Reference Volume 1: A - E - Bad Request

coneplot(...,'method') specifies the interpolation method to use. method
can be: linear, cubic, nearest. linear is the default (see interp3 for a
discussion of these interpolation methods)
coneplot
coneplot(X,Y,Z,U,V,W,'nointerp') does not interpolate the positions of the
cones into the volume. The cones are drawn at positions defined by X, Y, Z and
are oriented according to U, V, W. Arrays X, Y, Z, U, V, W must all be the same size.
h = coneplot(...) returns the handle to the patch object used to draw the
cones. You can use the set command to change the properties of the cones.
Remarks coneplot automatically scales the cones to fit the graph, while keeping them
in proportion to the respective velocity vectors.
It is usually best to set the data aspect ratio of the axes before calling coneplot.
You can set the ratio using the daspect command,
daspect([1,1,1])
Examples This example plots the velocity vector cones for vector volume data
representing the motion of air through a rectangular region of space. The final
graph employs a number of enhancements to visualize the data more
effectively. These include:
• Cone plots indicate the magnitude and direction of the wind velocity.
• Slice planes placed at the limits of the data range provide a visual context for
the cone plots within the volume.
• Directional lighting provides visual queues as to the orientation of the cones.
• View adjustments compose the scene to best reveal the information content
of the data by selecting the view point, projection type, and magnification.
1. Load and Inspect Data
The winds data set contains six 3-D arrays: u, v, and w specify the vector
components at each of the coordinate specified in x, y, and z. The coordinates
define a lattice grid structure where the data is sampled within the volume.
