Create 3D plot out of multiple xy plots

Dear all,

I'm yet again stuck in matlab. Currently I'm sitting on a bunch of X-Y plots, with x = distance and y = counts. However, this also varies in Z.

At the moment I have 45 plots each with respect to X-Y but for a different Z. The X value is exactly the same for all of the plots. Is there a way I can conveniently have matlab plot all these plots and connect them where the X values are the same?

Best,

Rick

I am not clear about what your data is?

For each x, does each of the 45 plots have exactly one corresponding y and corresponding z ? Or each x corresponds to an array of y and z ?

Or x and y are essentially grids, with different z values for each of the 45 plots ?

Correct, each x value in a single plot has exactly one corresponding y value.

For every Z the x values are the same but the y value corresponding to that x values can be different. I though it would have been easy to, just like in excel create such a surface plot. But it seems more tricky in Matlab.

Each z corresponds to exactly one x, but each x corresponds to multiple z? The same number of z in each case ? Is length(z) an integer multiple of length(unique(x)) ? So that you could reorder the data into a grid, unique x on one side and the corresponding z on another? Would it be a regular grid?

Would it be practical to show us a scatter3() of the data ?
