meshz
Plot a curtain around mesh plot
Syntax
meshz(X,Y,Z)
meshz(Z)
meshz(...,C)
meshz(axes_handles,...)
h = meshz(...)
Description
meshz(X,Y,Z) draws a curtain
around the wireframe mesh with color determined by Z,
so color is proportional to surface height. If X and Y are
vectors, length(X) = n and length(Y) =
m, where [m,n] = size(Z). In this case,
(X(j), Y(i), Z(i,j))
are the intersections of the wireframe grid lines; X and Y correspond
to the columns and rows of Z, respectively. If X and Y are
matrices, (X(i,j), Y(i,j), Z(i,j))
are the intersections of the wireframe grid lines.
meshz(Z) draws a curtain
around the wireframe mesh using X = 1:n and Y
= 1:m, where [m,n] = size(Z). The height, Z,
is a single-valued function defined over a rectangular grid. Color
is proportional to surface height.
meshz(...,C) draws a meshz graph
with color determined by matrix C. MATLAB® performs
a linear transformation on the data in C to obtain
colors from the current colormap. If X, Y,
and Z are matrices, they must be the same size
as C.
meshz(axes_handles,...) plots
into the axes with handle axes_handle instead of
the current axes (gca).
h = meshz(...) returns
a handle to a Chart Surface Properties graphics
object.
Examples
Curtain Plot of Peaks Function
Generate a curtain plot of the peaks function using meshz.
figure [X,Y] = meshgrid(-3:.125:3); Z = peaks(X,Y); meshz(Z)
Specify Color for Curtain Plot
Specify a color matrix for a curtain plot.
[X,Y] = meshgrid(-3:.125:3); Z = peaks(X,Y); C = gradient(Z); figure meshz(X,Y,Z,C)
