Patch: Data

• XData - X-coordinates of the patch vertices. (XData)
• YData - Y-coordinates of the patch vertices. (YData)
• ZData - Z-coordinates of the patch vertices.(ZData)
• CData - Color data for each vertex. You can specify color for each vertex, each face, or a single color for the entire patch.(CData)
• Scale to figure colormap - Interpretation of color data. (CDataMapping)
• Scaled (checked) - transform the color data to span the colormap, linearly mapping data values to colors.
• Direct (unchecked) - use the color data as indices directly into the colormap.
• Colormaps - Select a figure colormap. Also brighten or darken the current colormap (brighten)

See Specifying Patch Coloring for information on patch color data.

• Faces - A matrix specifying which vertices to connect to form each patch face. Each row in the Faces matrix specifies one face in the patch by referencing rows in the Vertices matrix. (Faces)
• Vertices - An m-by-3 matrix that defines the vertices of the patch, where each row contains the x-, y-, and z-coordinate of the vertex. (Vertices)
• F/V Color - Color data for patches defined by Faces and Vertices. (FaceVertexCData)

See Multi-Faceted Patches for an example that creates and colors a patch.
