Section: Handle-Based Graphics

Usage

This command generates contour plots where the lines are plotted in 3D. The syntax for its use is identical to the contour function. Please see its help for details.

Example

Here is a simple example of a 3D contour plot. 
--> [x,y] = meshgrid([-2:.25:2]);
--> z=x.*exp(-x.^2-y.^2);
--> contour3(x,y,z,30);
--> axis square;
--> view(-15,25)
--> 
quit

The resulting plot
