Hi,
I have a matrix with values ONLY in the lower half (not even on diagonal). Everything else is zero.
I want to plot just this lower half using imagesc. Problem is there are values of zero in this lower half.
Is there a way around this? I tried tril
Thanks, S

So, what's the problem with zeros? Imagesc should take pretty much all values.

%I tried this:
X = rand(10,10); %My random pixel data for an image. imagesc(X); %Handles correctly.
L = tril(X); %To get the lower triangular part.
M = L.*(L > 0.5); % To introduce some artificial zeros into the lower triangular part.
imagesc(M); %This seems to display a good image too!
%Hope this helps!
