My problem is as follows: I have got data from a finite element solver (FlexPDE) that specify the value of a certain variable A in 2D planes (x,y) at different heights z. I can create 2D pcolor and contour plots from these data that show the value of A at given heights, in this case z1,z2 and z3. Now I want to include all these three plots in 3D space in one single figure, where each plot is shown at the height for which its data were calculated (i.e. z=z1,z2,z3 depending on plot). What is the best way to do this?
Essentially, I'm looking for results similar to slice() plots, but in my case I don't have a 3D array of data, but rather several 2D arrays of data. I've tried using slice() by combining the arrays, but I can't edit each 2D plot separately, I think (the colormap is my main issue).
