How to plot 3D grid (cube) in Matlab

Question

Hi I would like to plot transparent cube-shaped grid with lines in it. Something like this:

However, I managed only to draw a 2D grid:

[X,Y] = meshgrid(-8:.5:8);
Z = X+1;
surf(X,Y,Z)

I use Matlab R2009b. If it is impossible to plot this in matlab could you recommend me a software I could use.

Answer 1

If you don't mind a few for loops, something like this will work:

clf
figure(1)
for g = 0:.2:2
for i = 0:.2:2

   plot3([g g], [0 2], [i, i])
   hold on
end
end

for g = 0:.2:2
for i = 0:.2:2

   plot3([0 2], [g g], [i, i])
   hold on
end
end

for g = 0:.2:2
for i = 0:.2:2

   plot3([i i], [g g], [0 2])
   hold on
end
end

You will just need to make the grid transparent by probably changing line properties, I don't think you can change alpha values to accomplish this. Hope that is helpful.
