V is an m-by-n-by-p volume arraycontaining data values at the default location X = 1:n, Y = 1:m, Z = 1:p. Eachelement in the vectors sx, sy, and sz defines a slice plane in the x-, y-, or z-axisdirection.slice(X,Y,Z,V,sx,sy,sz) draws slices of the volume V. X, Y, and Z arethree-dimensional arrays specifying the coordinates for V. X, Y, and Z must bemonotonic and orthogonally spaced (as if produced by the function meshgrid).The color at each point is determined by 3-D interpolation into the volume V.slice(V,XI,YI,ZI) draws data in the volume V for the slices defined by XI, YI,and ZI. XI, YI, and ZI are matrices that define a surface, and the volume isevaluated at the surface points. XI, YI, and ZI must all be the same size.slice(X,Y,Z,V,XI,YI,ZI) draws slices through the volume V along thesurface defined by the arrays XI, YI, ZI.slice(...,'method') specifies the interpolation method. 'method' is'linear', 'cubic', or 'nearest'.• linear specifies trilinear interpolation (the default).• cubic specifies tricubic interpolation.• nearest specifies nearest neighbor interpolation.h = slice(...) returns a vector of handles to surface graphics objects.2-444
