If X and Y are vectors, length(X) = n andlength(Y) = m, where [m,n] = size(Z). In this case, ( X( j) , Y()Zi i , ( , j))are the intersections of the wireframe grid lines; X and Y correspond to thecolumns and rows of Z, respectively. If X and Y are matrices,( X( i,j) , Y( i,j) , Zi ( , j)) are the intersections of the wireframe grid lines.mesh(Z) draws a wireframe mesh using X = 1:n and Y = 1:m, where [m,n] =size(Z). The height, Z, is a single-valued function defined over a rectangulargrid. Color is proportional to surface height.mesh(...,C) draws a wireframe mesh with color determined by matrix C.MATLAB performs a linear transformation on the data in C to obtain colorsfrom the current colormap. If X, Y, and Z are matrices, they must be the samesize as C.meshc(...) draws a contour plot beneath the mesh.meshz(...) draws a curtain plot (i.e., a reference plane) around the mesh.h = mesh(...), h = meshc(...), and h = meshz(...) return a handle to asurface graphics object.RemarksA mesh is drawn as a surface graphics object with the viewpoint specified byview(3). The face color is the same as the background color (to simulate a2-298
