Hi,
I have some spheres and I want to set their surface color according to their radii.
In my code I have the following matrix [xi,yi,zi,ri]; where xi, yi and zi are the XYZ coordinates of the center of the sphere and ri its radius. So, I need to relate the surface color of a given sphere to its radius in a colormap.
Does anyone know how to make it easily? It might be related to color mappings or RGB, but I am not very experienced on that stuff, so recommendations in this way would be very valuable.
Thanks,

Look more closely at the surf command; it accepts a fourth input to define the color of the surface, and only falls back on the z-data if you omit that input:
center = [...
0 0 0
1 1 1
2 1 1];
r = [1 1 0.5];
d = [1 0.5 0.3];
figure;
axes;
hold on;
[xu,yu,zu] = sphere;
for ii = 1:size(center)
x = xu*r(ii) + center(ii,1);
y = yu*r(ii) + center(ii,2);
z = zu*r(ii) + center(ii,3);
c = ones(size(z))*d(ii);
surf(x,y,z,c);
end
view(3);
axis equal;

May not be exactly what you want. Just for your reference.
data=[1,2,3,1;
2,3,4,.5
4,5,6,.3];
h=axes;hold on;
for k=1:size(data,1); [x,y,z]=ellipsoid(data(k,1),data(k,2),data(k,3),data(k,4),data(k,4),data(k,4));
surf(h,x,y,z);
end
view(3);grid on;

scatter3() can do that for you. The size parameter is the size of the sphere to draw at each x/y/z location; if you make the color parameter to be a vector the same as the size parameter, then the color would vary with the size.

I suggest you re-read the scatter3() documentation, which says
S determines the area of each marker (specified in points^2). S can be a vector the same length as X, Y, and Z or a scalar. If S is a scalar, MATLAB draws all the markers the same size.
