Arrange and Plot array values over time

Given a 24x24x1202 array D, I'd like to plot each value. It's hard to explain what I want to do so I've attached a graphic. I'd like to plot each row of D, i.e. 576 plots of 1202 time samples.

Here's what I've tried:

for x=1:24

for y=1:24

for k=1:576

for j=1:1202

C(k,j)=D(x,y,j)

end

end

end

end

I've tried to re-arrange the for loops to no avail. I've really struggled on how to do this. Building the matrix is real challenge for me. I've included an image that helps explain what I'm trying to do. Can someone help? It would be much appreciated.

One approach —

M = rand(24,24,5);                          % Example Matrix

figure
hold on
for k = 1:size(M,3)
    surf(M(:,:,k)*k/2+10*k)
end
hold off
grid on
view(30,30)
xlabel('X')
ylabel('Y')
zlabel('Time \rightarrow')

Using my code, the two-dimensional case would be something like one of these —

M = rand(24,24,5);                          % Example Matrix

figure
hold on
for k = 1:size(M,3)
    plot(M(:,:,k)*k/2+10*k)
end
hold off
grid on
xlabel('Time \rightarrow')
ylabel('Y')

figure
hold on
for k = 1:size(M,3)
    plot(reshape(M(:,:,k)*k/2+10*k, 1, []))
end
hold off
grid on
xlabel('Time \rightarrow')
ylabel('Y')

These began as random matrices, so there is no particular structure or definition to them otherwise. Experiment with your vectors and these approaches to get the result you want. The reshape and permute functions could be hepful here, however it may take some experimentation with them to get the result you want.

I was thinking something like this in 2 dimensions. I having trouble understanding how to write code for it.
