Dear all,
Is that possible to plot cylinder bar in matlab smilar to the picture below?
Let say my data is: x=[30,60,90]. I also would like to add x-axes and y-axes .
I appreciate it if you help me with example..

You can manually create whatever you want
clc,clear
radius = 10;
[X, Y, Z] = cylinder(radius,30);
[X0, Y0] = sphere(20);
X0 = X0 * radius;
Y0 = Y0 * radius;
Z0 = zeros(size(X0));
cla, hold on
x = [30 60 90];
y = [15 12 20];
for i = 1:length(x)
X1 = X + x(i);
Z1 = Z.*y(i);
surf(X1,Y,Z1, 'FaceColor', 'm') % cylinder wall
surf(X0+x(i),Y0,Z0, 'FaceColor', 'm') % bottom
surf(X0+x(i),Y0,Z0+y(i), 'FaceColor', 'm') % top
end
hold off
xlabel('X axis')
ylabel('Y axis')
zlabel('Z axis')
axis equal
