Basic Surface Plotting in MatLab Making 3D surface plots, contour plots, and gradient plots in MatLab is slightly more complicated than making simple line graphs, but we will present some examples that, with simple modifications, should enable you to create most of the pictures that you will need. The first step is to set up vectors that represent the range of and values. Sup- pose we want to plot over the region 4 4 and 3 3. Plotting on a grid of about 50 x 50 should be quite adequate, so we set up these vectors as follows: We have to make a grid of points over which we want the heights of the surface. MatLab provides a command for this: (X and Y will hold the rows and columns of this grid; we could have used any letters for these variables.) Note that we have placed a semicolon (;) after each command; this suppresses the long list of components which MatLab generates as it creates these vectors. Now suppose that we want to plot the function = 2 2 + 3 + 2. We create Z from the variables X and Y as follows: Now we are ready to plot. The simplest way of getting a surface plot is the MatLab command . This gives a fixed view with standard colors. There are other palettes of colors available; they are chosen using the command. A good all- purpose choice is , which is also good for contour plots. Other color schemes are: , and . It is also possible to rotate the plot in 3D to get different views. In order to do this, issue the command before doing any plotting. Now, once you plot the surface, you can rotate it by dragging with the mouse: try it. You can also choos
