3D Z number as the same as input value?

>>X= [1 2 3 4 5

>> [x,y]=meshgrid(1:.5:5,1:.5:5);
>> z=peaks(x,y);
>> surf(x,y,z)

Is there any other way to represent z number exactly whatever I input? because i just want to show 3d graph from non-continues points.

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

x= [1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5] 
y=[1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5] 
z =[152 89 100 100 100 103 0 100 100 100 89 13 100 100 100 115 100 187 200 111 100 85 111 97 48] 
X=reshape(x,[],5);
Y=reshape(y,[],5);
Z=reshape(z,[],5);
surf(X,Y,Z)

My Question is that discontinued point shows in 3D graph. But the your method saying that ??? Undefined function or variable 'x'. at the end.. there is other ways to show individuals points of Cartesian coord..

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Try

stem3(X,Y,z)

%or

plot3(X,Y,z,'or')

[Debbie]

Thanks you. one more thing to do,, Do you know how to interplorate between points? so look like in graph.. surf(x,y,z) --but I don't need to use surf..though. your plot3 method is find just want to show interpolating stacks.

[Walter Roberson]

Interpolating would not make sense for non-continuous points.

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

scatter3(X(:), Y(:), z(:))

[Debbie]

Hey.. you may know a way of interplorating next to each other. So,, look like surf(x,y,z) but it still remains z value I input.

[Debbie]

I mean I tried more data and do scatter3.. but it doesn't work as much as the previous one..

>> scatter3(X(:), Y(:), z(:)) ??? Error using ==> scatter3 at 63 X, Y and Z must be vectors of the same length.

Why is that error?

[Walter Roberson]

Your x is 380 entries long, but your y and z are 361 entries long. That is 20*19 compared to 19*19

[Debbie]

don'know, just copying from excel column, in oder to avoid #entries, had a color of same size. but still showing :

scatter3(X(:), Y(:), z(:))

??? Undefined variable X.

I will try in different way: add up entries one by one :$

[Walter Roberson]

MATLAB is case sensitive. Watch out for x compared to X .

[Debbie]

Oh ! I see :) thanks
