I would like to draw a hemisphere with slats as attached figures. 12 identical slits created in hemisphere, and width slit and width slat are equal.

function hemispherewithstripes
clf
Nstripes = 12;
stripecolor = 'r';
Nhemicircles = 2*Nstripes;
r = 1; % radius of half-sphere
Npoints = 100; % number of points along each hemicircle
angle = linspace(0, pi, Npoints);
% xyz coordinates of a single hemicircle
x = r*cos(angle) + 1;
y = zeros(size(angle));
z = r*sin(angle);
% rotate hemicirclec
%rotation angle:
theta = linspace(-pi/2, pi/2, Nhemicircles);
% xyz coordinates of rotated hemicircles; preallocate for speed
XYZ(Npoints, 3, Nstripes) = 0;
for i = 1:Nhemicircles
% rotation matrix along x-direction:
Rotx = [1 0 0;
0 cos(theta(i)) sin(theta(i));
0 -sin(theta(i)) cos(theta(i))];
XYZ(:,:,i) = [x(:) y(:) z(:)]*Rotx;
% uncomment to plot hemicircles
% plot3(XYZ(:,1,i), XYZ(:,2,i), XYZ(:,3,i), 'k'), hold on
end
hold on
% plot patch between every two hemicircles
for i=1:2:Nhemicircles
patch([XYZ(:,1,i)' flipud(XYZ(:,1,i+1))'],...
[XYZ(:,2,i)' flipud(XYZ(:,2,i+1))'],...
[XYZ(:,3,i)' flipud(XYZ(:,3,i+1))'],...
stripecolor, 'EdgeColor', stripecolor)
end
view(3) % set default 3D viewing axes
