SAME VALUE ON EVERY LOOP...

HI EVERYONE. need some help here...

my code is giving me the same output on every run and no matter what im doing, its giving me the same output.

here is a snippet of whats going on.

data = 2;
 point = [1 2 3 ; 
          4 7 8 ; ]; %% for point clouf. 
ptcloud = pointCloud(centroidlocation);
radius = 15; 
lesion = 5; 

for p =1: data 
temp_point = point(p,:);
% Get the indices and the distances of points that lie within the specified radius
[indices,dists] = findNeighborsInRadius(ptcloud,temp_point,radius);
ptcloudB = select(ptcloud,indices);

indices_1 = length(indices);

% change material properties of lesion 
for i=1:indices_1
   t_id = elem_e(:);
   t_id(indices)= lesion; 
end 
% do whatever for point 
 % multiple loops to find stuff 
 
 file_name (p) = min (whatever); 
 file_name_2(p) = min (whatever2);
 file_name_3 (p) = min (whatever3)
end 

help please!!!!

Because your inputs are constant without any change. Try radius and lesion as vectors instead of singular values

[diala yazbeck]

is the file_name(p) correct or should it be file_name(p,:),

also im still getting the same output...

[VBBV]

%if true
  % code
% end
% change material properties of lesion 
for i=1:indices_1
 t_id = elem_e(:);
 t_id(i)= lesion; 
end

Try the loop index in t_id.

This loop in your code looks suspicious to me:

% change material properties of lesion 
for i=1:indices_1
   t_id = elem_e(:);
   t_id(indices)= lesion; 
end 

Perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but it looks like t_id will be unchanged after the first iteration through the loop body. Is there a programming error here?

If you haven't done this already, then I recommend that you try using the debugger. Set a breakpoint at the beginning of the code, then execute it. Single-step through each line of the code, pausing to inspect the values of variables that just got changed. See if the values are what you expect. In case you are not familiar with the debugger, here is a documentation link.
