Hello Matlab experts,

My questions is about using contourc function to get a isoline in a 2D contour. For example,

iso_line = contourc(x,y,function_of_x_y,[0.5 0.5]);

I assume that the algrithme is interploilating the function_of_x_y on meshgrids(x,y) to get the isoline at 0.5. My question is what is the interpolation function? is it a linear interpolation? Does the uniform or non-uniform grids affect the 2D iso_line matrix?

Thanks in advance.

Bin

I think MATLAB detects intersected faces first

Then calculate intersection of plane and each face

I don't believe we document exactly how contourc generates the contours. Can you say a little more about why you're interested in this information?

Thanks for the reply, Steven. You are right, and Matlab does not give the details about this, and this may involve coding patent. The reason why I want to know is whether I should add spatial weight to each data point if the iso_line is calculated based on non-uniform grids? I may verifiy this confusion by comparing the results with uniform and non-uniform grids. I will try this firstly by myself, and thanks again.

Thanks for the reply and detailed answering, Darova. Your hypothesis is sound. I am wondering how matlab calculate the intersection. I suppose that Matlab interpolates this orginal mesh to finer mesh, and then approximate the isoline.

It calculates plane-to-plane intersection

Two equations of plane:

Simplified to get line:

Then it checks if the line lies on both planes

Thanks again for the further explanation. Follow you thoughts, if we take a simpler 2D case as shown in the below code,

iso_line = contourc(x,y,function_of_x_y,[0.5 0.5]);

the two planes you mentioned are the [x y] plane and a plane of function_of_x_y at given value (actually a line in 2D or a plane parallel to the isoline), am I right? Matlab get the intersection of the line with local elementary 2D plane [dx dy], and these intersections are the data point of the iso-line. I think I understand the procedure better than before. Cheers.
