Thread Subject:

Axis Orientation

Hi,

Can I change 3D plots so that the Y axis is up instead of the Z? I can only find reverse direction but I want to change the orientation.

Thanks

I think I need to use Camera orientation functions but I am not sure how to set it up properly.

What's wrong with setting Matlab z-axis with your y-data?

[X Y]=meshgrid(1:50,1:50);
Z=peaks(50);

surf(Z,X,Y)
xlabel('z');
ylabel('x');
zlabel('y');

Hi,

When I replace the y with the z matlab plots the data as if it was sideways instead of facing upwards because i think the orginal orientation is y upwards and not z. hope this makes sense.

No it does not, and it's confuse.
