sphere

Purpose

Generate sphere.

[X,Y,Z] = sphere(n)
sphere(n)
sphere

sphere generates the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of a unit sphere for use with surf and mesh.

[X,Y,Z] = sphere(n) returns the coordinates of a sphere in three (n+1)-by-(n+1) matrices. You can graph the sphere with

surf(X,Y,Z)

sphere(n), with no output arguments, draws a surf plot of the sphere on the screen.

sphere with no input arguments defaults to n = 20.

Generate and plot a sphere:

[X,Y,Z] = sphere(10);
mesh(X,Y,Z)
