SHADOWPLOT Add a shadow to an existing surface plot
For some surface plots, it can be helpful to visualize the shadow (2D projection) of the surface. This can give a quick perspective on the data's variance.
SHADOWPLOT PLANE Adds a shadow plot on the PLANE boundary PLANE can be: x, y, or z: Plots on back/top wall of x, y or z 1 .. 6 : Plots on Nth wall, numbered as in AXIS: [xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax]
SHADOWPLOT(HAX,PLANE) Adds a shadow plot on the Nth wall on axes HAX
HS = SHADOWPLOT(...) Returns a handle to the shadow (a patch)
Examples:
figure
surf(peaks)
shading interp
shadowplot x % Back X Wall
shadowplot y % Back Y Wall
