how to draw a hyperboloid?

Hai,
I need to draw a hyperboloid in matlab. How is it I could do it?

If you run membrane, is the figure that comes out close to what you want?
what is membrane?
Run membrane in Command Window to see.
no, it not a hyperboloid.
Then you need to explain what is hyperboloid and what you want to do. I can search for hyperboloid and it gives me lots of hits. For your benefit, barely mention hyperboloid in your question is not sufficient, right?
hyperboloid is a three dimensional representation of a hyperbola. Just like sphere, as sphere is a three dimensional and circle is two dimensional.

Hi BSD,
I hope the following code will help. Reply back :-
clc;
clear all;
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(-10:0.5:10,-10:0.5:10,-10:0.5:10);
a=1;
b=1;
c=1;
V = X.^2/a^2 + Y.^2/b^2 - Z.^2/c^2;
p=patch(isosurface(X,Y,Z,V,1)); % This is the key step. It involves getting the part of the volume corresponding to the surface defined by the equation
set(p,'FaceColor','red','EdgeColor','none');
daspect([1 1 1])
view(3);

Hope This helps..

It gives both the upper and lower portion. But I need only the upper portion of the hyperboloid. How to do that? Looking for your reply.

Hi BSD,
That is very easy as you just have to change the range of the x,y and z points you use in meshgrid
For getting the upper portion you just need to set z from 0:0.5:10
so in the above code just replace the meshgrid line with the following :-
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(-10:0.5:10,-10:0.5:10,0:0.5:10);
Hope This Helps

As long as you have the mathematical equation describing that hyperboloid, you should be able to generate some data and then draw it.
Take a unit sphere for example, the equation is x^2+y^2+z^2=1; If you carefully set the mesh grid for x and y, then you can calculate the corresponding value for z. Then you can use surf() to plot it.
MATLAB has the sphere() function. Here I am using it to generate the data first and then plot it. Running sphere alone can plot it too.
[x,y,z]=sphere;
surf(x,y,z)

[x,y]=meshgrid(-10:10);
r_sq=x.^2+y.^2;
z=sqrt(r_sq+1);
surf(x,y,z)

This is very clever. Thank you, I will keep it for reference. I had thought that you needed to purchase Symbolic Math Toolbox to plot 3D explicit functions, but now I am encouraged. Thanks.
That doesn't look like an ellipsoid to me. The 3rd line should rather be:
z=sqrt(200 - r_sq);
in order to have an ellipsoid of equation x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 200 (200 because x and y have magnitude 10)
