Too many output argument

Hi, I am trying to plot a 3D gyroid using the following code

fimplicit3(@(x,y,z) sin(x).*cos(y) + sin(y).*cos(z) + sin(z).*cos(x))

but it shows me too many output argument as the error. Also a bank 3D plot opens up with only X Y Z axis.

Can you help?

Please post the complete error message

This code works:

I suspect that the poster has shadowed a function. The complete error message would help us track it down.

Sorry for not posting this earlier, I have attached the full error message below.

>> gyroid

Warning: Error updating ImplicitFunctionSurface.

Too many output arguments.

[Walter Roberson]

Using

dbstop if warning

might help you track down the problem.

I tried to run the same command on my co workers computer and the program run fine, i think there is some probelm with my MATLAB can you guys please suggest solution to it.

Program - fimplicit3(@(x,y,z) sin(x).*cos(y) + sin(y).*cos(z) + sin(z).*cos(x))

Error message in my MATLAB -

Warning: Error updating ImplicitFunctionSurface.

Too many output arguments.

IT RUN PERFECTLY FINE ON OTHER MATLAB.

What happened when you tried the dbstop if warning ?

[Yash Mistry]

function defaulterrorcallback(~, evt)
% The default value for ErrorCallback properties.
 
%   Copyright 2009-2017 The MathWorks, Inc.
[id, msg] = matlab.graphics.internal.prepareDefaultErrorCallbackWarning(evt);
stack = dbstack('-completenames');
if (size(stack,1) == 1)
    warningstatus = warning('OFF', 'BACKTRACE');
    warning(id, msg);
    warning(warningstatus);
else
    warning(id, msg);
end
 
end

Warning from defaulterrorcallback (line 9)

warning(id, msg);

Sorry for this messy reply, I dont really understand but i have copy pasted whatever it showed me on my matlab.

Thank you so much.

At that point it would be useful to see the contents of the stack variable.

fimplicit3(@(x,y,z) sin(x).*cos(y) + sin(y).*cos(z) + sin(z).*cos(x))

Hi,

This function doesn’t show any error and gives as gyroid as shown in figure, store it to a handle as

fh = fimplicit3(@(x,y,z) sin(x).*cos(y) + sin(y).*cos(z) + sin(z).*cos(x));

Before doing this clear all variables stored in your workspace, change settings on MATLAB to default

Plot looks like

[Walter Roberson]

The warnings the user was getting suggests there is some shadowed function or a corrupt MATLAB installation. They were already doing the fimplicit3.
