plot3d3 — mesh plot surface defined by rectangular facets
plot3d3(X,Y,Z [,vect,theta,alpha,leg,flag,ebox]) plot3d3(X,Y,Z, <opt_args>)
3 real matrices defining a data structure.
a real vector.
This represents a sequence of statements key1=value1, key2=value2
,... where key1
,
key2,...
can be one of the following: theta, alpha
,leg,flag,ebox (see definition below).
real values giving in degree the spherical coordinates of the observation point.
string defining the labels for each axis with @ as a field separator, for example "X@Y@Z".
a real vector of size four.
flag=[vertical_color, horizontal_color,type,box]
.
an integer (surface color), default is 3.
Colormap index defining the color used to draw vertical edges.
an integer (surface color), default is 4.
Colormap index defining the color used to draw horizontal edges.
an integer (scaling) default is 2.
the plot is made using the current 3D scaling (set
by a previous call to param3d
,
plot3d
, contour
or
plot3d1
).
rescales automatically 3d boxes with extreme aspect
ratios, the boundaries are specified by the value of the
optional argument ebox
.
rescales automatically 3d boxes with extreme aspect ratios, the boundaries are computed using the given data.
3d isometric with box bounds given by optional
ebox
, similarily to
type=1
.
3d isometric bounds derived from the data, to
similarilytype=2
.
3d expanded isometric bounds with box bounds given
by optional ebox
, similarily to
type=1
.
3d expanded isometric bounds derived from the data,
similarily to type=2
.
Note that axes boundaries can be customized through the axes entity properties (see axes_properties).
an integer (frame around the plot), default is 4.
nothing is drawn around the plot.
unimplemented (like box=0).
only the axes behind the surface are drawn.
a box surrounding the surface is drawn and captions are added.
a box surrounding the surface is drawn, captions and axes are added.
Note that axes aspect can also be customized through the axes entity properties (see axes_properties).
It specifies the boundaries of the plot as the vector
[xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax]
. This argument is used
together with type
in flag
: if it is set
to 1
, 3
or 5
(see above to
see the corresponding behaviour). If flag
is missing,
ebox
is not taken into acoount. Note that, when
specified, the ebox
argument acts on the
data_bounds
field that can also be reset through the
axes entity properties (see axes_properties).
plot3d3
performs a mesh plot of a surface defined by
rectangular facets. (X,Y,Z) are three matrices which describe a surface.
The surface is composed of four sided polygons.
The X-coordinates of a facet are given by X(i,j), X(i+1,j), X(i+1,j+1) and X(i,j+1). Similarly Y and Z matrices contain Y and Z-coordinates.
The vect
vector is used when multiple surfaces are coded
in the same (X,Y,Z) matrices. vect(j)
gives the line at which
the coding of the jth surface begins. See plot3d2
for a full
description. As a mesh plot, the only available property you can edit is
the visible
option (see axes_properties).
