Name Description
n Specifies the number of samples (n + 1) in each dimension of the sphere. n is an integer.

Outputs

Name Description
x Returns the x-values at which LabVIEW generates the sphere. x is a matrix.

z Returns the z-values at which LabVIEW generates the sphere. z is a matrix.

Details

This function is supported in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine only if you request an output from the function. This function can remain in your scripts when you build a stand-alone application or shared library, but if you do not request an output, the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine does not execute this function. If you request an output, the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine executes this function as normal.

Examples

[X, Y, Z] = sphere(50);
surface(X, Y, Z)
