Visualizing Scalar Volume Data
Typical scalar volume data is composed of a 3-D array of data and three coordinate arrays of the same dimensions. The coordinate arrays specify the x-, y-, and z-coordinates for each data point.
The units of the coordinates depend on the type of data. For example, flow data might have coordinate units of inches and data units of psi.
Techniques for Visualizing Scalar Data
MATLAB supports a number of functions that are useful for visualizing scalar data:
slice
, a volume slicing example, and slice planes used to show context.) You can specify the data used to color isosurfaces, enabling you to display different information in color and surface shape (see isocolors
).
