ribbon (MATLAB Functions)

Ribbon plot

Syntax

ribbon(Y)
ribbon(X,Y)
ribbon(X,Y,width)
ribbon(axes_handle,...)
h = ribbon(...)

Description

ribbon(Y) plots the columns of Y as separate three-dimensional ribbons using
X = 1:size(Y,1).

ribbon(X,Y) plots X versus the columns of Y as three-dimensional strips. X and Y are vectors of the same size or matrices of the same size. Additionally, X can be a row or a column vector, and Y a matrix with length(X) rows.

ribbon(X,Y,width) specifies the width of the ribbons. The default is 0.75.

ribbon(axes_handle,...) plots into the axes with handle axes_handle instead of the current axes (gca).

h = ribbon(...) returns a vector of handles to surface graphics objects. ribbon returns one handle per strip.

Examples

Create a ribbon plot of the peaks function.

[x,y] = meshgrid(-3:.5:3,-3:.1:3);
z = peaks(x,y);
ribbon(y,z)
colormap hsv
