How to get a 3D contour plot with two matrices and a vector

I currently am using surf to plot the Image attached (see image of the surface plot, internetpic.jpg) . My code is;

surf(x_new',T_disc,all_out);

where x_new is a 1000x97 matrix, T_disc is a vector of length 97, and all_out is a 97x1000 matrix. Whilst the attached image is good, I would preferably like to have lines representing the data Like the second plot attached (picture of graphs with the blue lines, preferedpic.jpg).

I believe the problem is that x_new is a matrix, where as contour3 for example would prefer this to be a vector. Any suggestions?

Use repmat to create a matrix from vector

Use plot3 to create lines

% surf(x_new',T_disc,all_out);
T_disc1 = repmat(T_disc(:),[1 1000]);
plot3(x_new',T_disc1,all_out);

Thank you for your answer, I will try to implement it tomorrow when I’m near a comp.

Darova, I believe this is the solution, however when I attempt to use it I get the picture attached. (see pic.jpg attached). I would however like the picture attached to the original question (with the blue lines). So I would need to only plot some of the data in the rows? I tried

plot3((x_new(:,1:10:end))',T_disc1(1:10:end,:),all_out(1:10:end,:));

but it just gave the same answer.

You mean color or direction?

Derova, I managed to solve my problem by using a loop

for i=1:2:size(s_out) %size(s_out) is the length of the T_disc1 row 
plot3((x_new(:,i))',T_disc1(i,:),all_out(i,:),'b');
grid on 
hold on 
end 

Thanks for your help!
