Plotting 4d data with matrices.

Hey all, I am trying to plot a 4d plot( meaning 3 axis and 1 color) , I have looked at scatter3, mesh ,plot4d etc. but i was having trouble because part of my data is matrices. I am attaching the code below. To summaries my problem I have got: # Vx-[1*N]; # Vy-[1*N], # cont(:,:,1)-[N*N], # cont(:,:,2)-[N*N] What i want to get is a surface with Vx,Vy,cont(:,:,1) which colors change according to cont(:,:,2) any ideas how to do that? Thanks a lot! Naty

end

scatter3(X(:),Y(:),cont(:,:,1))

Please make sure your code is copy/paste runnable. At the moment there is an extra ] in your fsolve arguments, and after removing that I get the error:
Undefined function 'call_on' for input arguments of type 'function_handle'.
Error in @(x)call_on(myfun,x)
Error in fsolve (line 218)
fuser = feval(funfcn{3},x,varargin{:});

Naty, as per the comment above I can't replicate your exact data, but here's an example that should show you how to make the figures you're looking for.
% Make some 4D data in X, Y, height, colour:
% Each point now has an X, Y, Z (height), and C (colour) value
[X,Y,Z] = peaks(51); % 51-by-51 Z as a function of X, Y
C = membrane(1,25); % Colour
% Show the data as a surface plot
figure, surf(X,Y,Z,C), colorbar
% Show the data as a scatter3 plot
figure, scatter3(X(:),Y(:),Z(:),6,C(:),'filled'), colorbar
So, according to your problem description:
What i want to get is a surface with Vx,Vy,cont(:,:,1).
Which colors change according to cont(:,:,2) any ideas how to do that?
You can just do this:
[X,Y]=meshgrid(Vx_vec,Vy_vec);
Z = cont(:,:,1);
C = cont(:,:,2);
And then just call syntax like my example above:
figure, surf(X,Y,Z,C), colorbar
figure, scatter3(X(:),Y(:),Z(:),6,C(:),'filled'), colorbar
Did that solve it for you?

what should be done if i am having C as a 3d matrix in above case ??
