Contour Plots

The contour functions create, display, and label isolines determined by one or more matrices.

Function
Description

clabel

Generates labels using the contour matrix and displays the labels in the current figure

contour

Displays 2-D isolines generated from values given by a matrix Z

contour3

Displays 3-D isolines generated from values given by a matrix Z

contourf

Displays a 2-D contour plot and fills the area between the isolines with a solid color

contourc

Low-level function to calculate the contour matrix used by the other contour functions

meshc

Creates a mesh plot with a corresponding 2-D contour plot

surfc

Creates a surface plot with a corresponding 2-D contour plot
