I have three matrices x, y, z which are plotted via scatter3 in matlab. However I also need vertical lines dropping from every point in the graph for better visualization.
Using matlab 2017a, implemented 3D scatter plot in matlab.
enter code here
clc;
figure
x = [0,0,0,0,0,10,10,10,10,10];
y = [0,10,20,30,40,-10,0,10,20,30];
z = [46,52,51,59,53,85,56,87,86,88];
scatter3(x, y, z, 30, 'filled')
As @SardarUsama pointed out, plot3
should do the trick. Code could be more compact but kept it as is for clarity.
% MATLAB R2017a
x = [0,0,0,0,0,10,10,10,10,10];
y = [0,10,20,30,40,-10,0,10,20,30];
z = [46,52,51,59,53,85,56,87,86,88];
figure
scatter3(x, y, z, 30, 'filled') % scatter plot (3D)
zRng = zlim;
hold on
for k = 1:length(x)
xL = [x(k) x(k)];
yL = [y(k) y(k)];
zL = [zRng(1) z(k)];
plot3(xL,yL,zL,'r-') % plot vertical line (3D)
end
