MATLAB: How to label contour lines in meshc 3D-plot

clabelcontourlabel;MATLABmeshc

I have made a 3D-plot using meshc. I want to add labels to the contour lines. The handle return by the meshc is
h = 
  2x1 graphics array:
    Surface
    Contour
So I have tried to edit the properties using following command but it didn't work.
 h.ShowText='on';
What is the right way to do it? Thanks

I would use a separate call to contour. You may have to experiment with the approach in Yair Altman’s Undocumented MATLAB article Customizing contour plots part 2 to put the contour plot on the same plane as the contours drawn by the meshc function.
When you get your code working, consider generalising your code to a function and then contribute it to the File Exchange. It seems useful.
