Luke Rainbird Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hello people,I need to ploit a spiral of fixed length 50 units, and be able to plot points on this (can be a seperate plot though, and just superimpose them) at equal distances (arclength, not angle)Eg, 50m spiral, with points every 1m along the spiral.I'm using MATLAB at the mo, but obviously you don't need to worry about that.I have the spiral as a pair of cartesian equations, but willing to change that if needs be.Alternatively, if anyone knows how to plot polar on MATLAB (the help function is useless) it'd be amazing.Any help appreciated, I know this isn't the normal TF specialist subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Are you after a cartesian equation then? Or just the method to do it on matlab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Are you after a cartesian equation then? Or just the method to do it on matlab?Either would be good reallyNeed any more help Luke, gimme a bell Not bad, but it's the LENGTH not diameter that needs to be 50 Otherwise perfect though, legend...

mink Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I drew a spiral. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 http://lab.ytmnd.comI love MATLAB. Not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 what the heck is MATLAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 maths programming software/language. if you study engineering at uni the risk of running in to matlab is huuuuuuge. it's inevitable, at least over here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Even with the penis?ESPECIALLY with the penis...I drew a spiral. HTHThanks, though I have the spiral, it's getting the points onto it I'm finding hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
