Ribbon plot
Syntax
ribbon(Y)
ribbon(X,Y)
ribbon(X,Y,width)
ribbon(axes_handle,...)
h = ribbon(...)
Description
ribbon(Y) plots the columns
of Y as three-dimensional ribbons of uniform width
using X = 1:size(Y,1). Ribbons advance along the x-axis
centered on tick marks at unit intervals, three-quarters of a unit
in width. Ribbon maps values in X to colors in
colormap linearly. To change ribbon colors in the graph, change the colormap.
ribbon(X,Y) plots three dimensional ribbons
for data in Y, centered at locations specified
in X. X and Y are
vectors or matrices of the same size. Additionally, X can
be a row or a column vector, and Y a matrix with length(X) rows.
When Y is a matrix, ribbon plots
each column in Y as a ribbon at the corresponding X location.
ribbon(X,Y,width) specifies
the width of the ribbons. The default is 0.75.
If width = 1, the ribbons touch, leaving no space
between them when viewed down the z-axis. If width
> 1, ribbons overlap and can intersect.
ribbon(axes_handle,...)
plots into the axes with handle axes_handle instead
of the current axes (gca).
h = ribbon(...) returns
a vector of handles to surface graphics objects. ribbon returns
one handle per strip.
Examples
Ribbon Plot
Create a ribbon plot of the peaks function.
[x,y] = meshgrid(-3:.5:3,-3:.1:3); z = peaks(x,y); figure ribbon(y,z)
