Can someone please explain how to coordinates need to be passed to contour for 3D graphs? I see all the examples use sample data, but I can’t find any information on how the input points need to be
formatted.
Currently I have three array, one for the X, one for Y, and another for a Z value, and I was to plot each set on a 3D contour graph. What do I need to do to format these points correctly?
Thank you
Andrew
Andrew,
The data input for contourf3d is pretty much the same as it is for regular 2-D contourf. Essentially, X and Y are the grid coordinates, while Z represents the value at those grid points. Z should be a NxM array. X and Y should be NxM, or X is length N, with Y being length M.
I hope that clears it up.
