CONTOUR3 3D Contour Plot Function

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);
Warning: Newly defined variable xlim shadows a function of the same name.  Use clear xlim to recover access to the function
Warning: Newly defined variable ylim shadows a function of the same name.  Use clear ylim to recover access to the function
Warning: Newly defined variable zlim shadows a function of the same name.  Use clear zlim to recover access to the function
--> axis square;
--> view(-15,25)
Warning: Newly defined variable xlim shadows a function of the same name.  Use clear xlim to recover access to the function
Warning: Newly defined variable ylim shadows a function of the same name.  Use clear ylim to recover access to the function
Warning: Newly defined variable zlim shadows a function of the same name.  Use clear zlim to recover access to the function
