Linear 3-D plot
Syntax
plot3(X1,Y1,Z1,...)
plot3(X1,Y1,Z1,LineSpec
,...)
plot3(...,'PropertyName
',PropertyValue,...)
h = plot3(...)
Description
The plot3
function displays a three-dimensional plot of a set of data points.
plot3(X1,Y1,Z1,...),
where X1
, Y1
, Z1
are vectors or matrices, plots one or more lines in three-dimensional space through the points whose coordinates are the elements of X1
, Y1
, and Z1
.
plot3(X1,Y1,Z1,LineSpec
,...)
creates and displays all lines defined by the Xn,Yn,Zn,LineSpec
quads, where LineSpec
is a line specification that determines line style, marker symbol, and color of the plotted lines.
plot3(...,'PropertyName
',PropertyValue,...)
sets properties to the specified property values for all Line graphics objects created by plot3
.
h = plot3(...)
returns a column vector of handles to Line graphics objects, with one handle per Line.
Remarks
If one or more of X1
, Y1
, Z1
is a vector, the vectors are plotted versus the rows or columns of the matrix, depending whether the vectors' lengths equal the number of rows or the number of columns.
You can mix Xn,Yn,Zn
triples with Xn,Yn,Zn,
LineSpec
quads, for example,
plot3(X1,Y1,Z1,X2,Y2,Z2,LineSpec
,X3,Y3,Z3)
See LineSpec
and plot
for information on line types and markers.
Examples
Plot a three-dimensional helix:
t = 0:pi/50:10*pi;
plot3(sin(t),cos(t),t
)
grid on
axis square
