Matrices In Action, Grafix 2.0 3

The 4-by-4 matrices in the panels on the following screenshots are at the heart of computer graphics. They describe objects moving in three-dimensional space and are essential to MATLAB's Handle Graphics, to CAD (Computer Added Design) packages, to CGI (Computer Graphics Imagery) in films, and to most popular video games.... read more >>

Color Cube Meets Rubik’s Cube

I have made a half dozen blog posts about Rubik's Cube so far this year. And, during the MATLAB Central Mini Hack in October, I resurrected an old code about the Color Cube. Now, a combination of the two, Rubik/Color Qube, creates an elegant tool for investigating Matrices in Action.... read more >>
