Hi All,
I have been using ezmesh to generate 3-D plane plots and
have come to a problem when importing them into my thesis. 
The PDF generated from the figure (e.g. ezmesh('2x+3y+4', [1
50 1 50])) gives a very high CPU load when viewing it in all
PDF viewers I tried(Acrobat, Kpdf etc).

Is it because the vector format is really complicated for
the planes, or is there other better/easy alternatives?  SVG
doesn't seems to be supported at all in matlab unfortunately!

While the PDF is obviously working, I really don't want to
impose a mandatory coffee break whenever other people open
the PDF waiting for 50-100 of figures to be rendered!

Thanks for all input,
Abe
