I have seen 3d surface plots of data before but i do not know what software i could use to make it.
I have 3 series of data (X, Y, Z) basically i want each of the rows on the table to be a point in 3d space, all joined as a mesh. The data is currently csv, but i can change the format, as it is data i generated myself.
Can anyone help
If your x & y points topologically lie on a grid, then you can use MESH. They don’t need to have even spacing; they just need to be organized so that x(r:r+1,c:c+1) and y(r:r+1,c:c+1) define a quadrilateral on your mesh, for each row r and column c.
If your data do not lie on a grid, but you know what the faces should be, look at the PATCH function.
If you only have points and you don’t know anything about the surface, you need to first solve the surface reconstruction problem. I’ve used cocone; there are other good packages there too. Once you have the reconstructed surface, then you can use PATCH to display it.
