ribbon (MATLAB Function Reference)

Ribbon plot

ribbon(Y)
ribbon(X,Y)
ribbon(X,Y,width)
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.

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)
