plot3

3-D line plot.

Syntax

• plot3(X1, Y1, Z1, ...)
• plot3(X1, Y1, Z1, LineSpec, ...)
• plot3(..., propertyName, propertyValue, ...)
• plot3(ax, ...)
• go = plot3(...)

Input argument

• X1 - x-coordinates: vector or matrix.
• Y1 - y-coordinates: vector or matrix.
• Z1 - z-coordinates: vector or matrix.
• LineSpec - Line style, marker, and/or color: character vector or scalar string.
• ax - a scalar graphics object value: parent container, specified as a axes.
• propertyName - a scalar string or row vector character. see help of 'line' for property list.
• propertyValue - a value.

Output argument

• go - a graphics object: line type.

Description

plot3(X1, Y1, Z1, ...)plots one or more lines in three-dimensional space.

go = plot3(...) returns a column vector of line graphics objects.

see line or plot for more information about properties

Examples

f  = figure();
t = 0:pi/50:10*pi;
L = plot3(sin(t), cos(t), t);
axis square

f  = figure();
t = 0:0.1:10*pi;
r = linspace (0, 1, length(t));
z = linspace (0, 1, length(t));
h = plot3 (r .* cos (t), r .* sin (t), z);
ylabel ('r .* sin (t)');
xlabel ('r .* cos (t)');
zlabel ('z');
title (_('plot3 display of 3-D helix'));
