The dodecahedron is a particularly interesting polyhedron. It's full of interesting five-fold symmetries. Let's take a look at a couple of them.First we'll need the vertices. There's an interesting... 더 읽어보기 >>

Another new feature that I really like in R2016a is the upgraded fplot function and all of the new members of the fplot family.The fplot function has been around for a long time. The basic idea is... 더 읽어보기 >>

One of the features I love in R2016a is the new yyaxis function. This is a new way to create plots which have two independent Y's, like the older plotyy function. Let's take a look at how yyaxis... 더 읽어보기 >>

As the Wind BlowsNOAA maintains a number of buoys that collect weather data, and they publish the data from them on their website.There are four of these buoys just outside Boston harbor. They are... 더 읽어보기 >>

Recently I heard from a MATLAB user who was trying to draw tubes along a curve using this blog post I wrote a while back. Unfortunately her curve was a bit more complex than the ones I used in that... 더 읽어보기 >>

One type of question that I'm often asked is about how to use various visualization techniques with what is sometimes called "scatter data". This is data that is a list of individual measurements.... 더 읽어보기 >>

Last time, when I was talking about permutohedra, we saw how truncated octahedra fill 3D space with no gaps. There are a number of shapes with this property, and they have the lovely old family name... 더 읽어보기 >>

In earlier posts we've looked at tiling quadrilaterals and pentagons. So what about hexagons? I'm sure you've seen tilings of regular hexagons. They're popular in floor tiles and game tiles. Even... 더 읽어보기 >>

I recently answered a question on MATLAB Answers about how patch interpolates color data. This is a question I get a lot because it's a bit more complicated than you might expect. Let's take a close... 더 읽어보기 >>
