File Exchange Pick of the Week

Camera Manipulation

Need a good tutorial on how to manipulate the view of your graphics in MATLAB? Or just want to see a very cool animation of a "camera" flying around over a MATLAB surface plot? Brett's pick this week provides both.

With a pretty cool visualization, Joel Feenstra puts us in the cockpit, so to speak, with his submission on "camera manipulation." Not only is this cool to look at, but Joel shows us how to control roll, pitch, and yaw as we fly around our graphic.

Actually, my animation doesn't compare to seeing this for yourself. Fun stuff...thanks for sharing this, Joel!

Comments? We're always interested.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
