# revolve2D

Form 3D matrix from revolution of 2D matrix

## Syntax

    mat3D = revolve2D(mat2D)

## Description

`revolve2D` revolves the values of a 2D matrix about the x axis (or matrix rows) to form a 3D matrix. A single point is taken as the x-axis origin, thus for an input matrix of size m by n, the output matrix will be m by (2n-1) by (2n-1). Values outside the interpolation range are set to zero. An example of revolving a 2D triangle is shown below.

    % create a triangle in a 2D grid
    triangle = tril(ones(10, 10));

    % rotate in 3D
    triangle_3D = revolve2D(triangle);

    % plot the revolved triangle
    voxelPlot(triangle_3D);

## Inputs

`mat2D` | 2D input matrix

## Outputs

`mat3D` | 3D output matrix
