    CONTOUR PLOTS

     contour(Z) creates a contour plot containing the isolines of matrix Z, where Z


    contains height values on the x-y plane. MATLAB® automatically selects the
    contour lines to display. The column and row indices of Z are the x and y
    coordinates in the plane, respectively.

     contour(X,Y,Z) specifies the x and y coordinates for the values in Z.

    Create matrices X and Y, that define a grid in the x-y plane. Define matrix Z as
    the heights above that grid. Then plot the contours of Z.

    x = linspace(-2*pi,2*pi);

    y = linspace(0,4*pi);

    [X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);

    Z = sin(X)+cos(Y);

    contour(X,Y,Z)

    Contours at Twenty Levels

    Define Z as a function of X and Y. In this case, call the peaks function to create X,
    Y, and Z. Then plot 20 contours of Z.

    [X,Y,Z] = peaks;

    contour(X,Y,Z,20)

    Contours at One Level

    Display the contours of the peaks function at Z = 1.

    [X,Y,Z] = peaks;
    v = [1,1];
    contour(X,Y,Z,v)
    Dashed Contour Lines
    Create a contour plot of the peaks function, and specify the dashed line style.

    [X,Y,Z] = peaks;
    contour(X,Y,Z,'--')

    Contours with Labels


    Define Z as a function of two variables, X and Y. Then create a contour plot of
    that function, and display the labels by setting the ShowText property to 'on'.

    x = -2:0.2:2;
    y = -2:0.2:3;
    [X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
    Z = X.*exp(-X.^2-Y.^2);
    contour(X,Y,Z,'ShowText','on')

    Custom Line Width


    Create a contour plot of the peaks function. Make the contour lines thicker by
    setting the LineWidth property to 3.

    Z = peaks;
    [M,c] = contour(Z);
    c.LineWidth = 3;

    Contours Over Discontinuous Surface

    Insert NaN values wherever there are discontinuities on a surface. The contour
    function does not draw contour lines in those regions.

    Define matrix Z as a sampling of the peaks function. Replace all values in column
    26 with NaN values. Then plot the contours of the modified Z matrix.

    Z = peaks;
    Z(:,26) = NaN;
    contour(Z)
    contourf(Z) creates a filled contour plot containing the isolines of matrix Z, where
    Z contains height values on the x-y plane. MATLAB® automatically selects the
    contour lines to display. The column and row indices of Z are the x and y
    coordinates in the plane, respectively.

    contourf(X,Y,Z) specifies the x and y coordinates for the values in Z.

    contour3(Z) creates a 3-D contour plot containing the isolines of matrix Z, where Z
    contains height values on the x-y plane. MATLAB® automatically selects the
    contour lines to display. The column and row indices of Z are the x and y
    coordinates in the plane, respectively.

    contour3(X,Y,Z) specifies the x and y coordinates for the values in Z.

    Define Z as a function of X and Y. In this case, call the sphere function to create
    X, Y, and Z. Then plot the contours of Z.

    [X,Y,Z] = sphere(50);
    contour3(X,Y,Z);

    Define Z as a function of two variables, X and Y. Then plot the contours of Z. In


    this case, let MATLAB® choose the contours and the limits for the x- and y-axes.

    [X,Y] = meshgrid(-5:0.25:5);
    Z = X.^2 + Y.^2;
    contour3(Z)
    Now specify 50 contour levels, and display the results within the x and y limits
    used to calculate Z.

    contour3(X,Y,Z,50)
    Define Z as a function of two variables, X and Y. Then plot the contours at
    Z = [-.2 -.1 .1 .2]. Show the contour labels by setting the Show Text property to
    'on'.

    [X,Y] = meshgrid(-2:0.25:2);
    Z = X.*exp(-X.^2-Y.^2);
    contour3(X,Y,Z,[-.2 -.1 .1 .2],'ShowText','on')

    Define Z as a function of X and Y. In this case, call the peaks function to create X,
    Y, and Z. Then display the contours at Z = 2.

    [X,Y,Z] = peaks;
    contour3(X,Y,Z,[2 2]);

    Define Z as a function of two variables, X and Y. Plot 30 contours of Z, and then


    set the line width to 3.

    [X,Y] = meshgrid(-2:0.0125:2);
    Z = X.*exp(-X.^2-Y.^2);
    [M,c] = contour3(X,Y,Z,30);
    c.LineWidth = 3;
