MATLAB: Reflection of a surface across an axis

surface

Sorry if the title is a little confusing…here's my question:

 - I have a 3-D graph with two surfaces on it.  They are identical in almost every regard except they are mirror images of each other on the X-Axis.  In other words, if we look at them on a xy or xz graph, you end up with a mirror image at the x=0 plane. 
 - Is it possible to reflect one of the two surfaces to get the two surfaces to overlap?  I've been playing with the rotate command for a while and haven't managed to figure it out.

Thanks.

Braden,

This example should help you see what to do.

hand = surf(peaks);
set(hand, 'XData', -1*get(hand,'XData'));

Maybe try the following:

n=[1 2 3 4 5 6]; 
ki=2.*pi.*n
k=1.2
kz=sqrt((ki.^2-k.^2))
for i= 1:length(kz)-1
RTE(i)=(kz(i)-kz(i+1))/(kz(i)+kz(i+1));
end
RTE

MATLAB: Save Axis Labels/Titles/Ticks for Iterative Plotting

If you have set the XTick or YTick property yourself, such as via set(), then the ticks will be retained when the data changes. More specifically, if you set() the XTick or YTick properties then the respective *TickMode property is set to 'manual', and when that property is 'manual' then ticks will not be recalculated.

The ticks and titles are part of the axes, so you can copyobj() the axes, set() it's Position if you need to, and set() the child surface's XData, YData, ZData (and perhaps CData) to the new data. If you took a bunch of trouble setting up the ticks on the first one, then the 'manual' property of the tick mode should be copied.

And if not... you can always set() the XTick or YTick properties of the new axes to the get() of the appropriate *Tick properties of the first axes.
