How to get 2D view of an ellipsoid?

Hello,
I have a plot of an ellipsoid obtained by :
>> [x, y, z] = ellipsoid(0,0,0,xr,yr,zr);
figure
surf(x, y, z)
axis equal
Now I need to obtain 3 plots showing x Vs y & x Vs z & y Vs z, so basically I'll get 3 2D plots each showing an ellipse. Is there any Matlab command that'll do that ? I'd really appreciate your help.
Thank you!

Hi
You could use the "view" function for that, which allows you to set the viewing angle (azimuth and elevation). Note that the angles are in degrees, not radians.
For the choices mentioned:
xr = 1;
yr = 2;
zr = 1.2;
[x, y, z] = ellipsoid(0,0,0,xr,yr,zr);
surf(x, y, z);
axis equal
% Now change the view
% X vs Y
view(0,90)
pause
% X vs Z
view(0,0)
pause
% Y vs Z
view(90,0)
Cheers
