I have a bunch of subplots that are linked with linkaxes and I currently use the FEX function dynamicDateTicks to update the tick labels when I zoom. BUT. The new datetime format looks better (less crowded) on the graphs. Only I can't get it (datetime) to work with a surf plot.
Here's a minimal working example:
X = 25:25:100;T = datenum(2015,01,01,1:4,0,0); Z = [ 1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12; 13 14 15 16];[Xmesh,Tmesh] = meshgrid(X,T);% Tmesh = datetime(Tmesh,'ConvertFrom','datenum');
figure;surf(Tmesh,Xmesh,Z);
If you uncomment the one line, this gives me the error:
Error using surf (line 57)X, Y, Z, and C cannot be complex.
Anyone else have this problem? It seems like a bug, since it works fine with any other plot. For example:
plot(datetime(2014,01,1:2),1:2)
Any help would be appreciated. And just to be clear, I currently can get it all to work with dynamicDateTicks (datetick), I'm just hoping for a cleaner plot.
