How to plot the functions of the type f(x,y,z)=c , in
matlab? which functions should be used?

thanks!

meshc os surf will work x,y and z will be 3d coordibates in your
figure and colour will depict c.

try mesh(x,y,z,c)
or surf(x,y,z,c)

One easy way is isosurface. Consider this example:

nx=12
ny=12
nz=12
[x y z]=meshgrid(linspace(-1,1,nx),linspace(-1,1,ny),linspace(-1,1,nz))
v=2*x.^2 - 3*y.^3 + 4*z.^4
c=1
isosurface(v,c)

Reformulating as an implicit equation can save a
lot of memory at high resolution though.
