How to create isocurves with given values in coordinates?

21 views (last 30 days)
If we have a matrix which contains 3 columns of X coordinate, Y coordinate and assigned values to those coordinates respectively, how could be create a plot with isocurves similar to contour function in matlab?

X=m(:,1);
Y=m(:,2);
Value=m(:,3);

One approach:
figure
stem3(X, Y, Value) % Exploratory Plot To View Data
grid on
[Xm,Ym] = ndgrid(X,Y); % Create Matrices
Vm = griddata(X, Y, Value, Xm, Ym); % Interpolate Grid
figure
contour3(Xm, Ym, Vm)
grid on
I used contour3 here to demonstrate the problems. Experiment with surfc and contour.
Your data do not easily lend themselves to a contour plot. You will need to work with your data a bit to get a better representation.
