I am trying to figure out if there is an equivalent in pgfplots to what in MATLAB is done through the following command: surf(A,B). This would plot the geometry A, using the colors specified in B.
I am using the script from here to convert a few MATLAB plots to pgfplots, but the script ignores the second parameter of plot and exports only the values used for geometry. Hence, pgfplots plots A using the default jetmap, and I would like it to be colored using the values in B.
Here is what I get using pgfplots
and this is how I want it to look
Any guess?
Cheers.

Best Answer
Yes, pgfplots can do it: you can provide color data explicitly.
I suppose the most simple way is to provide a combined table with columns x y z c and to tell pgfplots
to read point meta data which is given explicitly
point meta=explicitto configure from where explicit color data should be read
\addplot .. table[meta=c].You can generate such data files in matlab using
data = [ A(:) B(:) ](or something like that).Here is your example (hopefully correctly concatenated):
