- function h = mesh(x,y,z,c)
- %MESH 3-D mesh surface.
- % MESH(X,Y,Z,C) plots the colored parametric mesh defined by
- % four matrix arguments. The view point is specified by VIEW.
- % The axis labels are determined by the range of X, Y and Z,
- % or by the current setting of AXIS. The color scaling is determined
- % by the range of C, or by the current setting of CAXIS. The scaled
- % color values are used as indices into the current COLORMAP.
- %
- % MESH(X,Y,Z) uses C = Z, so color is proportional to mesh height.
- %
- % MESH(x,y,Z) and MESH(x,y,Z,C), with two vector arguments replacing
- % the first two matrix arguments, must have length(x) = n and
- % length(y) = m where [m,n] = size(Z). In this case, the vertices
- % of the mesh lines are the triples (x(j), y(i), Z(i,j)).
- % Note that x corresponds to the columns of Z and y corresponds to
- % the rows.
- %
- % MESH(Z) and MESH(Z,C) use x = 1:n and y = 1:m. In this case,
- % the height, Z, is a single-valued function, defined over a
- % geometrically rectangular grid.
- %
- % MESH returns a handle to a SURFACE object.
- %
- % AXIS, CAXIS, COLORMAP, HOLD, SHADING and VIEW set figure, axes, and
- % surface properties which affect the display of the mesh.
- %
- % See also SURF, MESHC, MESHZ, WATERFALL.
-
- %-------------------------------
- % Additional details:
- %
- % MESH sets the FaceColor property to background color and the EdgeColor
- % property to 'flat'.
- %
- % If the NextPlot axis property is REPLACE (HOLD is off), MESH resets
- % all axis properties, except Position, to their default values
- % and deletes all axis children (line, patch, surf, image, and
- % text objects).
