how do i plot a function like the one below in matlab. Should i convert it to a cartesian or can i plot it straight forward.
(rho) = 1 + 0.4 * sin(phi) * sin(theta)
0 <= theta <= 2*pi,
0 <= phi <= pi

You can plot it straight forward using plot3(rho,theta,phi) or convet to cartesian first then plot3 ( depends on whether you are happy to see theta and phi displayed this way or if you want to see a trace where distances and angles are preserved). Alternatively, if phi and theta are values on a regular grid generated using meshplot for example, you might want to make a contour plot of rho.
best of luck - Mike
