MATLAB Shape Generator

Project Description

The MATLAB Shape Generator is a versatile project designed to help students, developers, and enthusiasts visualize and understand geometric shapes in both 2D and 3D.
With user-friendly input prompts, this project allows anyone to generate shapes like circles, triangles, cubes, spheres, and more, while automatically saving high-quality PNG images for reports, presentations, or portfolio showcases.
This project combines MATLAB programming, geometry, and visualization skills into a single, easy-to-use package.

⚙️ Usage

1. Open VS Code and navigate to the MATLAB-Codes folder.
2. Go to the folder containing the shape you want to generate (2D_Shapes or 3D_Shapes).
3. Open any .m script (e.g., 2_Circle.m or 4_Cylinder.m).
4. Run the script in MATLAB.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to input the required parameters.
6. The shape will be displayed, and optionally, a .png image will be saved in the same folder.
