Plot irregularly spaced data in MATLAB
To plot irregularly spaced data in MATLAB, use the
TriScatteredInterp
command to create a data structure for interpolation.
The example below plots a saddle-shaped surface by interpolating over 100 random data points:
%Pick random x and y coordinates % and compute z values. x = rand(100,1)*10-5; y = rand(100,1)*10-5; z = x.^2 -y.^2; %Construct the interpolant and use to evaluate % zi for values (xi,yi) F = TriScatteredInterp(x,y,z); ti = -5:.1:5; [xi,yi] = meshgrid(ti,ti); zi = F(xi,yi); %Plot the interpolated surface in black plot3(xi,yi,zi,'k'); %Add the original data points in red hold on; plot3(x,y,z,'or'); hold off
