I seem to have a problem with the contourf function. The data I am plotting (see attached) seems to plot fine with the 'surf' command and 'contour' as well, but the plot changes when I use contourf. I am using the following command for plot the data:
contourf(p_R,Q_R,pow_R);
I have included examples of each of the plots to show the difference between contourf, surf, and contour. I have reproduced this issue on another computer. Does anyone know if there is some bug in contourf that would cause this issue?
I found a work around by using 'flipud' on each of the matricies, but I don't know why this works.
contourf(flipud(p_R),flipud(Q_R),flipud(pow_R));
I have included a plot of this result as well.
Any ideas on what the problem is? (I am running 2013b)
Thanks, -Michael
