Syntax

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

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

waterfall creates a waterfall plot, which is a mesh plot with a partial curtain along the y dimension.

This results in a 'waterfall' effect.

The function takes the same input arguments as the mesh function.

Examples

f = figure();
Z = peaks();
waterfall(Z);
title ("waterfall function");

f = figure();
[X,Y] = meshgrid(-5:.5:5);
Z = Y.*sin(X) - X.*cos(Y);
p = waterfall(X, Y, Z);
