Hi all, I'm working with the surf(X,Y,Z) function, and trying to force some values to be specific. I'm basically trying to plot a 3D sin-wave, rotationally symmetric about (0,0) and contain a specific number of waves in any direction, then outside this region, force the Z values to zero. Here's code attempts using an 'if' but the Z=0 isn't applied at larger radii than Xmax:
NumberWaves = 2;
Each_Division = 0.1;
X_max = NumberWaves * (2 * pi) ;
X_min = -X_max;
Y_min = X_min;
Y_max = X_max;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(X_min : Each_Division : X_max);
Rad = sqrt (X.^2 + Y.^2 );
if (Rad < X_max)
Z=0;
else
Z = (((sin(Rad)) + 1) / 2);
end
figure;
colormap hsv;
surf(X,Y,Z, 'EdgeColor' ,'None');
xlabel('X (**)');ylabel('Y (**)');zlabel('Red Scale');
Alternatively to the forcing Z to a value, I was trying to find references to only plot the surface out to a given radius, which again would be rotationally symmetric. I'm very new to Matlab, so any help appreciated! Thanks!

I would recommend setting up your grid in polar coordinates. The surf command (along with mesh, pcolor, etc.) doesn't require a rectilinear grid, so starting in terms of r and theta allows you to set the cutoff exactly without any setting-to-0 or NaN-masking:
NumberWaves = 2;
Each_Division = 0.1;
rmax = NumberWaves * (2 * pi) ;
r = linspace(0, rmax, 50);
theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
[r,theta] = meshgrid(r, theta);
z = (sin(r) + 1)./2;
x = r .* cos(theta);
y = r .* sin(theta);
surf(x,y,z);

OK, all sorted - changed the main line here to:
cmap = ([linspace(0,1,101)'*ones(1,1) linspace(0,0,101)'*zeros(1,2)])
and it's now all working. A handy little tool that will come in useful I'm sure! Many thanks Kelly for this.

Just so you know, you've got some unnecessary calculations there. You can get the same with
cmap = [linspace(0,1,101)' zeros(101,2)];

Hi Star Strider,
Surely Xmax is my domain (square in XY), but if I look at +X+Y, the radius is > Xmax, so at this point I would expect the Z value to be forced to zero?
Is there a way to crop the surface? Looking at the figure, ideally I want to set my Z value to 0.5, but the value is arbitrary at this point - or can I crop the graph once 2 waves have been completed?
