How to adjust centers and radii of three intersected spheres to get the desired shape using matlab

Hi Matlab Community,

Thanks and regards for all support from distinguished community members.

I have three sphere they intersect each other for inputed Radii and Centers. My code (below )is giving me the intersected sphere shown in figure 1.

Demo values give me figure 1.

R1 =10, R2 =12, R3 =14, C1 = [10 12 14], C2 = [16 18 20], C3 = [ 22 24 26]

i want the intersected to intersect each other shown in figure2 ( Note: figure 2 are spheres not circles but i gave just for clearance my view to experts. )

Thanks in advance for all cooperation

R1 = input('Radius1 = ') % we input radii i.e. R1, R2 and R3  of three spheres of our choice.
R2 = input('Radius2= ')

clc; clear all ;
r = [1 1. 1.] ;  % radii of three spheres 
P = [1. 1. 0; -1 0. 0.; 1. -1. 0. ] ;  % centers of sphere  
m = 20;
n = 10;
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,m) ;
phi = linspace(-pi/2,pi/2,n) ;

X = zeros(n,m,3) ; 
Y = zeros(n,m,3) ;
Z = zeros(n,m,3) ; 

[T,P] = meshgrid(theta,phi) ;
for i = 1:3
  X(:,:,i) = P(i,1) + r(i) *cos(P).* cos(T);
  Y(:,:,i) = P(i,2) + r(i) *cos(P).* sin(T);
  Z(:,:,i) = P(i,3) + r(i) *sin(P) ;
end

figure
hold on
C = {'.r', '.g', '.b'} ; 
for i = 1:3
  plot3(X(:,:,i),Y(:,:,i),Z(:,:,i),C{i},"MarkerSize",10)
end

Hi KSSV, i am using scatter3. I want intersected spheres that intersect eac other like in figure 2.
