MATLAB: Contour plot on top of surface plot

3d plotscontourMATLABsurfsurface

Hi all,

I want to achieve something like the attached picture. I have tried with a mesh on top of a surf plot without success. I am not sure if this can be achieved with the surfc function. Any hints?

Thanks

Thank you for your answers.

As Walter said, Jacob's answer works but I have to work out the way to have a proper colorbar.

I ended up using the tips on this link Surface plot with multiple colormaps

Cheers

I got the perfect answer from Ol1v3r in the german gomatlab forum. just wanted to share with you ...

MATLAB: Contours at a specific height from the surface || surfc

One way to put some distance between the surfc plot and the contours is with: Customizing contour plots part 2

If you want to show the contour lines on the surf plot, try this:

D = load('Surface_Data.mat');
B = D.B;
figure
surfc(B)
shading('interp')
hold on
contour3(B, 'r', 'LineWidth',2)
hold off
grid on

Experiment to get the result you want.
