MATLAB: Rotating contourf in r2014b

Question

How to rotate contours generated using contourf command in MATLAB R2014b?

rotating using get(gca, 'Children') doesn't seem to work.

Answer 1

Sean's right. The rotate command only works on a few types of objects, and you probably want to try hgtransform instead.

That would look something like this:

g = hgtransform
contourf(peaks,'Parent',g)
set(g,'Matrix',makehgtform('zrotate',pi/3))
