mesh

Mesh surface plot.

Syntax

• mesh(X, Y, Z)
• mesh(Z)
• mesh(Z, C)
• mesh(X, Y, Z, C)
• mesh(parent, ...)
• mesh(..., propertyName, propertyValue)
• go = mesh(...)

Input argument

• X - x-coordinates: vector or matrix.
• Y - y-coordinates: vector or matrix.
• Z - z-coordinates: vector or matrix.
• C - Color array: m-by-n-by-3 array of RGB triplets.
• parent - a scalar graphics object value: parent container, specified as a axes.
• propertyName - a scalar string or row vector character.
• propertyValue - a value.

Output argument

• go - a graphics object: surface type.

Description

mesh creates a 3-D wireframe mesh.

You can customize the appearance of the plot using various options such as color, lighting, and shading.

Examples

f = figure();
[X, Y] = meshgrid(-8:.5:8);
R = sqrt(X.^2 + Y.^2) + eps;
Z = sin(R) ./ R;
mesh(X, Y, Z)
axis square

f = figure();
F = str2func('@(z) z .^ 3 - 1');
x = linspace(-2, 2, 100);
y = linspace(-2, 2, 100);
[X, Y] = meshgrid(x, y);
Z = X + 1i*Y;
W = F(Z);
mesh(real(W), imag(W), abs(W))
xlabel('Real')
ylabel('Imaginary')
zlabel('Magnitude')
