How to change the Coordinates of the object in the fill3 function?

I have created an object and used fill3 to provide the face Colour. However, I need to update the position of this object over time.

Thus, I have written something like: axes01 = fill3(X1, Y1, Z1, C1)

When I need to re-position this object, I wrote: set(axes01, 'XData', X2) set(axes01, 'YData', Y2) set(axes01, 'ZData', Z2)

This does not seem to take effect and the filled areas of the object remained at the original position. How do i rectify this?

Thanks

Please post the code to reproduce your observation.

Did you insert a drawnow command to trigger an update of the graphics?

You can join the set commands:

set(axes01, 'XData', X2, 'YData', Y2, 'ZData', Z2);

Hi Jan,

Yes, I have inserted a drawnow command.

It's hard for me to post the codes but I can further illustrate the situation. An example would be:

I am rendering a cylinder with the surf command. My X, Y, Z for the surf command comprise of the coordinates on the 2 circles. With the surf command, I am able to provide the face colour on the "curved surface" of the cylinder. However, the 2 circles are not shaded (which causes the cylinder to look hollow).

Thus, to work around this problem, I used the fill3 command to do the job. The problem is that, when I change the position of this cylinder, only the "curved side" moves, leaving the 2 circle plates in their original positions.
