Edgescan be only a single color.m-by-n k-by-3 m-by-1 m-by-3 Assign a color to each vertex. patch facescan be flat (a single color) orinterpolated. Edges can be flat orinterpolated.ExamplesThis example creates a patch object using two different methods:• Specifying x-, y-, and z-coordinates and color data (XData, YData, ZData, andCData properties).• Specifying vertices, the connection matrix, and color data (Vertices, Faces,FaceVertexCData, and FaceColor properties).Specifying X, Y, and Z CoordinatesThe first approach specifies the coordinates of each vertex. In this example, thecoordinate data defines two triangular faces, each having three vertices. Usingtrue color, the top face is set to white and the bottom face to gray.x = [0 0;0 1;1 1];y = [1 1;2 2;2 1];z = [1 1;1 1;1 1];tcolor(1,1,1:3) = [1 1 1];tcolor(1,2,1:3) = [.7 .7 .7];patch(x,y,z,tcolor)2-316
