Group Project 5

In this project, you will use Matlab to make a movie. Get a copy of the file knot.m. You can get the version-5 example of this file on osf1 in:

You can get the version-4 example of this file on osf1 in:

On site-unix, you can find the version-4 example in:

Modify this function so that it only plots the figure; get rid of the commands that generate the graphical user interface. In addition, turn off the axes and use interpolated shading.

C Grade: Make a movie in which the figure is rotated (about the vertical axis). The figure should rotate through in 20 frames. You should use the command axis(axis) to keep the scaling constant. To submit the project, send me the Matlab software that generates the movie, along with your names, and the percentage efforts.

B Grade: Make a movie which passes through a hole in the figure.

A Grade: Make a movie which travels along the surface of the figure.

Final deadline: Tuesday, May 12, 9:30 am
