Why do I get the message "Undefined function 'showPointCloud' for input arguments of type 'double'."
Show older comments
Dear all
When I test the simple code in page (<http://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/showpointcloud.html>) to plot 3D point cloud. I get the message
"Undefined function 'showPointCloud' for input arguments of type 'double'.
Error in test_sphere1 (line 9)
showPointCloud([x(:),y(:),z(:)]);"
Why do I get this, I just use the example code:
close all
clc
clear all
numFaces = 600;
[x,y,z] = sphere(numFaces);
figure;
showPointCloud([x(:),y(:),z(:)]);
title('Sphere with the default color map');
xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');
zlabel('Z');
Thank you!

Do you have the Computer Vision System Toolbox installed?
In the Command Window type:
ver
to find the version of MATLAB and all toolboxes you have installed. If you have the Computer Vision System Toolbox, it should be listed.

What version of MATLAB are you using?
showPointCloud is only available from MATLAB R2014b.
Also as Star mentioned, do you have Computer Vision System Toolbox?

Like Star mentioned, type ver on the command line.

I have tested in R2014b and showPointCloud does work.
If ver('Vision') shows the product installed, it is possible that you do not have it licensed. See what license('test','video_and_image_blockset') returns: it should return 1 if you have the product license. Also try
which -all showPointCloud
if the software is installed but there is no license for it you will probably see a note about no license beside it.
