How to create a contourf plot from a table?

Time:01-04

As far as I understand the way to 3-d plot/ surface plot is "meshgrid". But the data I have has a specific format:

X Y Z
1 0.1 10
1 0.2 12
1 0.3 13
2 0.1 11
2 0.2 12
2 0.3 14
3 0.1 11
3 0.2 12
3 0.3 15

The first and second column (X and Y) repeat themselves in that fashion, and I need to plot Z(X,Y).

How Do I do it?

CodePudding user response:

X = 1:1:3 % grid can be set by beginning:step:end
Y = 0.1:0.1:0.3
[x,y] = meshgrid(X,Y); % then make 2d domain 


% z values have to be done manually or can automate if you read your data from txt file
z = [10 12 13; 11 12 14; 11 12 15]; 

% and finally
surf(x,y,z)
