Plotting in 3D and 3D data visualization is where Matlab’s power really becomes apparent!
Matlab defines a number of different kinds of 3D plots but you will probably find 3 or 4 to be the most useful:
x,y,z 3D line plot: plot3( )
mesh plot: mesh( )
surface plot: surf( )
contour plot: contour( )
combo surface/mesh with contour: surfc( )
The surface plotting can also be applied to create realistic 3D objects by defining and plotting their exterior surfaces!
We can only touch lightly on this vast area of Matlab
