Well, this is my first time to participate in such community competitions and guess what, I've gone for 4 submissions so far (Feels Great!!)
So I wanna share some tricks that I followed for my first submission named Happy Shaping' ( Go Check it out!!):
1. Dynamic Background Color Change:
- Technique: The background color of the figure window is gradually changed using sine and cosine functions.
- Reason: These trigonometric functions (sin and cos) create smooth, oscillating transitions over time, which gives a fluid effect to the background's color shift.
- Implementation:
Color = [0.1 + 0.5*abs(sin(f/10)), 0.1 + 0.5*abs(cos(f/15)), 0.9 -
0.5*abs(sin(f/20))];
- Benefit: This introduces a smooth, visually appealing animation effect.
2. Smooth Object Motion Using Sine and Cosine:
- Technique: The position and shape of objects are based on trigonometric functions.
- Reason: Using sin(t) and cos(t) ensures that the movement is circular or elliptical, creating continuous and natural motion in animations.
- Implementation (for object position):
x = 10 * cos(t * 2 * pi) * (1 + 0.5 * sin(t * pi));
y = 10 * sin(t * 2 * pi) * (1 + 0.5 * cos(t * pi));
- Benefit: Circular and smooth motions are pleasing and easily controlled by tweaking the frequency and phase of sine/cosine functions.
3. Polygon Shape Changing Over Time:
- Technique: The number of sides of the polygon (sides) changes dynamically based on t.
- Reason: It creates variation in shape, maintaining user interest as the shape transitions from a triangle to a hexagon.
- Implementation:
sides = 3 + round(3 * abs(sin(t)));
- Benefit: This provides dynamic shape transitions over time, keeping the animation non-static.
4. Use of the fill Function for Color-Filled Shapes:
- Technique: The fill function is used to draw a polygon with smoothly changing colors.
- Reason: Filling polygons with varying colors based on time (t) allows for continuous color transitions, adding more complexity to the animation.
- Implementation:
fill(xp, yp, c, 'EdgeColor', 'none');
- Benefit: Combining both color changes and shape changes enhances the visual impact.
5. Consistent Use of hold on and hold off:
- Technique: hold on allows multiple graphic objects to be drawn on the same axes without clearing previous objects.
- Reason: This is crucial for drawing multiple elements (like polygons, circles, and lines) on the same figure.
- Benefit: It helps manage and layer different graphical elements effectively within the same frame.
6. Use of rectangle for a Smooth Ball Motion:
- Technique: The ball's motion is defined by rectangle with a Curvature of [1, 1] to make it circular.
- Reason: Using the rectangle function simplifies the process of drawing a filled circle, and controlling its position and size is intuitive.
- Benefit: It provides a straightforward way to animate circular objects within the plot.
7. Animating the Connection Line:
- Technique: A white dashed line (w--) is drawn between the polygon and the moving ball to show a connection between these objects.
- Reason: This adds interactivity to the scene, as it gives the impression that the polygon and the ball are related or connected in some way.
- Implementation:
plot([x bx], [y by], 'w--', 'LineWidth', 2);
- Benefit: A dynamic element that adds depth and narrative to the animation, guiding the viewer’s attention.
8. Frame Synchronization with Time (f and t):
- Technique: The variable f is used as a frame number, while t = f / 24 creates a link between frame and time.
- Reason: Ensuring smooth and continuous transitions in the animation over time is critical, so f acts as the control for time-based changes in shape, color, and position.
- Benefit: This makes it easy to manage frame rates and time-based updates for the animation.

Hi, My data send to thingspeak is not received/updated for the last 6 hours on the charts and dials. All worked well till about 6 hour ago. I am using Node-red and the API Url: https://thingspeak.com
Any help please?
Greetings Gert

What is the side-effect of counting the number of Deep Learning Toolbox™ updates in the last 5 years? The industry has slowly stabilised and matured, so updates have slowed down in the last 1 year, and there has been no exponential growth.Is it correct to assume that? Let's see what you think!
releaseNumNames = "R"+string(2019:2024)+["a";"b"];
releaseNumNames = releaseNumNames(:);
numReleaseNotes = [10,14,27,39,38,43,53,52,55,57,46,46];
exampleNums = [nan,nan,nan,nan,nan,nan,40,24,22,31,24,38];
bar(releaseNumNames,[numReleaseNotes;exampleNums]')
legend(["#release notes","#new/update examples"],Location="northwest")
title("Number of Deep Learning Toolbox™ update items in the last 5 years")
ylabel("#release notes")
I left the code unchanged, modifying only secrets.h.
I am using an ESP32-WROOM -32U
Connection to network succeeds, but ThingSpeak.writeFields fails every time, with HTTP error code 400.
The sketch I am really trying to use is loosely based on this example, accesses Time and Weather info with no problems, but ThingSpeak.writeFields fails with HTTP error code 301.
This is my first attempt to use ThingSpeak.
Is this example sketch still valid, or must I look elsewhere? Suggestions please.

How can I mechanically couple synchronous reluctance motor from simscape electrical electromechanical library and dc generator from specialized power system library
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a school project where I need to send sensor data from my Arduino to a Power BI REST API using ThingsHTTP. I've been trying to get this to work, but I'm running into errors like this:
{"error":{"code":"InvalidRequest","message":"Error parsing request for dataset sobe_wowvirtualserver|a7b68fb5-533b-471f-a5da-3bdd6746ee16: Conversion error on column '<pi>pH</pi>': <pi>Input string was not in a correct format.</pi>"}}
I'm a beginner with this, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. What steps should I take to resolve this issue? Also, does anyone know the correct format for an HTTP request body when sending dynamic sensor data?
This is the body format I'm trying to send to Power BI:
[
{
"pH": 98.6,
"TDS": 98.6,
"turbidity": 98.6,
"temperature": 98.6
}
]
Any advice on how to construct the HTTP body with values that change over time would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!"
hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a project involving the design and numerical simulation of metalenses using Zemax and MATLAB. The design phase involves saving phase data from the Zemax simulation, which is later used in a numerical script to generate the metalens in MATLAB.
I have a MATLAB file that contains the phase data saved from Zemax, but I am unsure of the specific method or format used to extract and save the data from Zemax. The phase data I currently have in MATLAB is as follows:
- Phase matrix: 571 x 571 (double)
- X data: 571 x 1 (double)
- Y data: 571 x 1 (double)
Could you please provide guidance on:
- How this phase data was likely saved from Zemax into MATLAB?
- What steps or scripts were used to extract this information from the design, particularly the 571 x 571 phase matrix and the corresponding X and Y data?
- Any best practices or tools available in Zemax for exporting such data?
This information will help me reproduce the workflow and proceed with my analysis.
Thank you for your support. I look forward to your guidance.
Best regards,
Zaka

As I am editing this post, I see the expected symbolic display in the nice form as have grown to love. However, when I save the post, it does not display. (In fact, it shows up here in the discussions post.) This seems to be a new problem, as I have not seen that failure mode in the past.
You can see the problem in this Answer forum response of mine, where it did fail.
