Converting a 2d curve into a 3d curve

I have plotted a 2d line, x vs y. x is a 1x202 double and so is y. I want to extent the y values into the 3rd diemension. So if I have a kink in my line, i want that extened into the third dimension.

For example:

x = linspace(-2,2,50)
y = x.^2;
[X,Y]= meshgrid(x,y)
Z = X.^2
surf(X,Y,Z)
xlabel('x')
ylabel('y')
zlabel('z')

This will extend 1d plot into a 3d plot.

But however for my plot, I have the x and y values only. I was wondering if there's a way to extend the pointint into the 3rd diemension such that it still retains it's 1d shape

plot3() %?

Yeah I have tried that but I want a surface or a mesh. So if i have a 1d wave, I want to convert that 1d wave into 3d. I dont know if I'm explaining this well.

No your not , for the scond time upload your datas and the image of the plot your trying to attain.
