Hello, I am trying to plot in a while loop and I am having trouble figuring out how to set this up. I am calling a function that I have written to vary the x component of the vector from -20 to 20 in increments of 5. The code for the function and the file I am using are shown below.
Code:
x1=-1;
y1=0;
z1=0;
x2=1;
y2=0;
z2=0;
x=-25;
y=5;
z=0;
while x<20
x=x+5
vortexsegment(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,x,y,z);
end
Function:
function[Vx,Vy,Vz]=vortexsegment(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,x,y,z);
S=[x1,y1,z1]; % defining points for start
E=[x2,y2,z2]; % defining points for end
R=[x,y,z]; % defining points for point of interst
A=S-R; % Finding vector a
B=E-R; % Finding vector b
Z1=cross(A,B);
Z2=dot(A,B);
MagA=norm(A);
MagB=norm(B);
q=(Z1./(dot(Z1,Z1))).*(MagA+MagB).*(1-(Z2./(MagA.*MagB)));
V=(1./(4.*3.14)).*q
Vx=V(1,1)
Vy=V(1,2)
Vz=V(1,3)
Thanks

Did you try to plot Vx?
while x < 20
x=x+5
[Vx, Vy, Vz] = vortexsegment(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,x,y,z);
plot(Vx, 'b-', 'LineWidth', 3);
grid on;
drawnow;
end

That seems to do the trick. Thank you! What is it called when you use [Vx, Vy, Vz] = vortexsegment(x1,y1...etc)? I haven't seen that before? I am still somewhat of a newb with matlab.
Thanks again

That's called accepting the return arguments into variables in the calling routine, or something like that. vortexsegment() calculates them and sends them back to the caller, but unless the calling routine accepts them into variables, they are thrown away.
