surf_slices(varargin)
Rather than plotting a 3D volume, instead plot a series of slices.
Like surf() except without interpolation in one of the axes.
surf_slices(Z): slices of matrix Z where size(Z)=[m,n]
surf_slices(x,y,Z): slices of matrix Z, where length(x)=n and length(y)=m
surf_slices(x,y,Z,'axis',axis): Change slicing axis (either 1 or 2)
The plot is constructed by overlaying a surf plot with a series of lines plotted along the ridges of the slices.
To reveal the mesh structure of the plot, use:
ax = gca;
ax.Children(end) = 'k';
Note that because a slice has a finite width (the width is the separation of the axis points), you may cut off the end of the data if you set the axis limits manually.
