How to restrict the angle a cylinder is defined over

3 views (last 30 days)
If you have a cylinder generated by the following code how would you define is so that the cylinder is restricted to certain angles such as between 0 and pi, thanks
[x,y,z]=cylinder([0,7,7,0],100);
z([1,2],:)=0;
z([3,4],:)=0.1;
surf(x,y,z);
axis equal

One way,

    [x,y,z]=cylinder([0,7,7,0],100);
    z([1,2],:)=0;
    z([3,4],:)=0.1;
    [theta,rho] = cart2pol(x,y);
    keep=(theta<=pi & theta>=0) | rho==0;
    z(~keep)=nan;
    surf(x,y,z);
    axis equal

Thanks, the trouble is I want all the internal bit as well not just a ring at the edge

I updated my code. Try it again. This is what I get:

Another option:

[x,y,z]=cylinder([0,7,7,0],100);
cidx = 1:ceil(size(x,2)*(pi/(2*pi)));                   % Scale Column Index By Fractions Of ‘2*pi’
z([1,2],:)=0;
z([3,4],:)=0.1;
surf(x(:,cidx) ,y(:,cidx) ,z(:,cidx));
axis equal
shading interp
