`surface`	Create surface object
`surfl`	Surface plot with colormap-based lighting
`surfnorm`	Compute and display 3-D surface normals
`mesh`	Mesh plot
`meshc`	Plot a contour graph under mesh graph
`meshz`	Plot a curtain around mesh plot
`hidden`	Remove hidden lines from mesh plot
`fsurf`	Plot 3-D surface

Function Surface Properties	Control function surface appearance and behavior
Implicit Function Surface Properties	Control function surface appearance and behavior
Parameterized Function Surface Properties	Control parameterized function surface appearance and behavior

You can visualize matrix data on a rectangular grid using surface plots.

There are several techniques for coloring surface and mesh plots, including colormaps, truecolor, and texture mapping.
