rotate 3d plot basic question

Hi there,

I plot a surface

h3=surf(p1,p3,z)

then I would like to rotate it around the z axis the same way I would by using the rotation in the GUI using my mouse.

When I use

rotate(h3,[0 0 1],90)

even though the graph is as expected to be, the axes are wrong. Is there a way to program it to rotate and preserve the axes. I want to do exactly what I would do with my mouse, but using exactly 90 degrees.

I have multiple plots and I would like to use something like the rotate function.

I don't know if I am clear.. The h3 graph is exactly what I want. I simply want to view the whole graph from another angle so as to be prettier and understand it better.

hello Leo.

You can use the command view(x,y) to rotate the graph around.
