Lamin - consider using plot3 to draw your box (and later, the 10 points). Draw the box in "parts" by defining the xy coordinates for the corners of the box, drawing a line from the origin (0,0) to (1,0) to (1,1) to (0,1) and back to origin. The X, Y, and Z vectors become
X = [0;1;1;0;0];
Y = [0;0;1;1;0];
Z = [0;0;0;0;0];
figure;
hold on;
plot3(X,Y,Z); % draw a square in the xy plane with z = 0
plot3(X,Y,Z+1); % draw a square in the xy plane with z = 1
set(gca,'View',[-28,35]); % set the azimuth and elevation of the plot
Now connect the two squares
for k=1:length(X)-1
plot3([X(k);X(k)],[Y(k);Y(k)],[0;1]);
end
Now use rand and scatter3 to generate 10 random points within the box (note that rand returns a pseudorandom scalar drawn from the standard uniform distribution on the open interval (0,1)).
scatter3(rand(10,1),rand(10,1),rand(10,1),'g');
There are probably other ways to generate the same result with fewer lines of code.
