Thread Subject: change a tyle of a graph

Hi,

I saved a 3d surface graph; now I want to change it to a contour one. It it possible to do this without retrieving all the data? I didn't find in the interactive toolbars.

Thank you for your help!

No, they have very very different internal representations.

If HS is the handle to the surface graph, then you can do

contour(get(HS,'XData'), get(HS,'YData'), get(HS,'ZData'));

or contour3() with the same arguments.
