How to plot a contour graph using the matrix M.. the first row and the first column of matrix M would be the coordinates for each value.. for example:
for the coordinates 5,5 the z value for the contour map would be 0.01379458 and for the coordinates 30,20 the z value would be 0.06578076. the idea is to plot all the coordinates of matrix M and use the z values for the contour plot.
What could be the best way to solve it?

Why not just call contour?
doc contour
Do you want to plot the surface, with iso-levels plotted as contour lines on the surface itself?

x = M(1,2:end);
y = M(2:end,1);
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y);
Z=M(2:end,2:end) ;
Now use contour on X,Y and Z.
