Thread Subject: surfc help

Is there any way to take the plane that the contours are
projected on and move it above the rendered surface...this
seems like a logical thing, but I could not find an option
or what not to that effect.

Thanks for the help,
John

<SNIP wants to move his/her contours along the z-axis...

one of the solutions

% the plot
sh=surfc(peaks(32));
% the engine
sh=findall(sh,'type','patch');
zi=get(gca,'zlim');
for i=1:numel(sh)
zd=get(sh(i),'zdata');
zd=zi(2)*ones(size(zd))+5;
set(sh(i),'zdata',zd);
set(sh(i),'linewidth',2);
end

Another way

sh = surfc(peaks(32));
zLevel = 15;
ph = findobj(sh,'Type','patch');
zlim = get(gca,'ZLim');
pv = get(ph,'zdata');
pv = cellfun(@(x)zLevel+x-zlim(1),pv,...
    'UniformOutput',false);
pn = {'zdata'};
set(ph,pn,pv,'LineWidth',2)

A little better

sh = surfc(peaks(32));
zLevel = 15;
ph = findobj(sh,'Type','patch');
pv = get(ph,'zdata');
pv = cellfun(@(x)zLevel+x*0,pv,...
    'UniformOutput',false);
pn = {'zdata'};
set(ph,pn,pv,'LineWidth',2)
