How to create a ezcontour in cylindrical domain?
Show older comments
hi friends
i have a temperature profile that is a function of radious, r, like this:
syms r
T= -r ^ 2 + 1;
i want to create cylindrical contours in this domain: 0<r<1 ( with symbolic functions) i can do this work by Maple but i want draw it with matlab. the shape that i want to obtain is available in attached file. explain what command i should use or how can i change the coordinate type to cylindrical to recognize the T(r) as a 2D function.
thanks a lot

Can't you just add the definition of R in terms of X & Y?
syms x y
r = sqrt(x^2+y^2);
t = -r^2 + 1;
ezcontour(t)
axis equal

I'd forgotten that pol2cart works on syms!
