Section 11.1 Introduction to 3D Plots

Three-dimensional (3D) plots are an extremely effective way to visualize data that depend on more than one variable.

MATLAB has quite sophisticated built-in 3D plotting and rendering capabilities. This chapter only scratches the surface of what is possible and only serves to spark your imagination of what is possible. We will simply introduce a number of features without going into any details. If you’d like to use any of the introduced capabilities, consult the MATLAB documentation for further details.

All of the same parameter control features of 2D plotting are available in 3D plotting.

In addition, there are several different styles of 3D plots to choose from in MATLAB.
