Favorite MATLAB Demo

The MATLAB demonstration that I found to be most interesting was the demonstration titled "Earth's Topography." It was fascinating in that it helped show MATLAB's power and ability to create 2-D and 3-D models based off of sets of data. For example, in generating the 2-D image of the world, MATLAB incorporated a set of data to help accurately color the map based on different elevation levels. Also, this demo showed MATLAB's ability to create selective lighting to enhance an image such as the 3-D view of the globe.
