MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB demo this week was the graphics display of a penny that incorporated official data measurements of the mold used to mint a US penny. In addition to the ability to draw a simple contour plot, the user can also produce a pseudocolor plot with the Laplacian lighting model that produces an image that looks like a photograph of a penny.
