How to rotate a 3D object?

I have a 3D object which is reconstructed from stacks of images. 3D object size : 512 x 512 x 50 roughly.

how to rotate the angle theta and phi (spherical coordinate) ?

it seems embedded function rotate only can rotate on 2D image.

Is there a way to rotate the 3D image?

Actually , I wrote a code to rotate 2D image and tried to implement on 3D image. However, It did not work well.

Thanks !!

I attached a 3D image. you can tried any method that works on that kind of image.

thanks again

How?Can you please be more specific? What I want is that I want to rotated the 3D image,3DMatrix by certain angle and save that. I am not asking to rotate the 3D image when viewing it.

What I need is The rotated Matrix data.

rotate3d rotates the view, rotate rotates the object. The c-130 function uses rotate to set roll, pitch, and yaw of an airplane.

what is the meaning of "If h is an array of handles, all objects must be children of the same axes."

I tried to use rotate to rotate my 3D image.

rotate(3Dimage,[1 0 0],30,[30 30 30])

??? Error using ==> get
Invalid handle object.

Error in ==> rotate at 59
  t = get(h(i),'type');

??? Error using ==> rotate at 33 H must contain axes children only.

some error exists.
