comet3
Three-dimensional comet plotcomet3 comet3(z) comet3(x,y,z) comet3(x,y,z,p)A comet plot is an animated graph in which a circle (the comet head) traces the data points on the screen. The comet body is a trailing segment that follows the head. The tail is a solid line that traces the entire function.
comet3,
with no arguments, demonstrates the three-dimensional comet plot.
comet3(z)
displays a three-dimensional comet plot of the vector z
.
comet3(x,y,z)
displays a comet plot of the curve through the points [x(i),y(i),z(i)]
.
comet3(x,y,z,p)
specifies a comet body of length p
*length(y)
.
Create a three-dimensional comet plot:
t = --10*pi:pi/250:10*pi; comet3((cos(2*t).^2).*sin(t),(sin(2*t).^2).*cos(t),t);
