Hello Mikel,
I assume that you're trying to find a method to manipulate the viewing angle of a 3D plot while maintaining the x-axis orientation.
MATLAB offers a straightforward solution for this with the 'view' function. It sets the azimuth and elevation angles of the camera's line of sight for the current axes.
For better understanding, I am attaching a sample MATLAB code, feel free to rearrange the tiled layout.
t = 0:pi/20:10*pi;
xt1 = sin(t);
yt1 = cos(t);
tiledlayout(1,3)
% Original 3d plot
ax1 = nexttile;
plot3(ax1,xt1,yt1,t)
xlabel('X')
ylabel('Y')
zlabel('Z')
%creating subplot for top view - X and Y axis
ax2 = nexttile;
plot3(ax2,xt1,yt1,t)
xlabel('X')
ylabel('Y')
zlabel('Z')
view(ax2, [0 90]); % Set view for top view
%creating subplot for front view - X and Z axis
ax3 = nexttile;
plot3(ax3,xt1,yt1,t)
xlabel('X')
ylabel('Y')
zlabel('Z')
view(ax3, [0 0]); % Set view for front view
This script will generate a figure with three subplots
- the original 3D plot
- Top view : which have the X-axis and Y-axis
- Front View : which have the X-axis and Z-axis
To know more about the 'view' function , you can refer to the following MathWorks documentation.
You could also try exploring 'rotate' function - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/rotate.html
Hope this will help.
