How can I find common volume of three cones intersecting each other?

Hello everybody,

I have plotted three cones which are intersecting each other at certain height. I need to find out the common volume of the intersection but I can't figure that out! Is there any built-in function in MATLAB, which can calculate the volume of interest? I would also like to highlight that region with stronger color. Any advice?

Please find attached the picture of the cones.

Regards, TK

Hi Tanzim,

Since you have not mentioned anything about the format of the data you have, it is difficult to suggest you any MATLAB function based only on the diagram. However, there are a number of MATLAB function that help in visualizing volume data iso, slice, and stream plots. Please look at the documentation at the following link:

If this is not what you are looking at, then please tell us more about your data format, may be attach sample data.
