If @var{x} and @var{y} are ## vectors, then a typical vertex is (@var{x}(j), @var{y}(i), @var{c}(i,j)). ## Thus, columns of @var{c} correspond to different @var{x} values and rows ## of @var{c} correspond to different @var{y} values. ## ## The values in @var{c} are scaled to span the range of the current ## colormap. Limits may be placed on the color axis by the command ## @code{caxis}, or by setting the @code{clim} property of the parent axis. ## ## The face color of each cell of the mesh is determined by interpolating ## the values of @var{c} for each of the cell's vertices; Contrast this with ## @code{imagesc} which renders one cell for each element of @var{c}. ## ## @code{shading} modifies an attribute determining the manner by which the ## face color of each cell is interpolated from the values of @var{c}, ## and the visibility of the cells' edges. By default the attribute is ## @qcode{"faceted"}, which renders a single color for each cell's face with ## the edge visible. ## ## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes, ## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}. ## ## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created ## surface object. ## ## @seealso{caxis, shading, meshgrid, contour, imagesc} ## @end deftypefn function h = pcolor (varargin) [hax, varargin, nargin] = __plt_get_axis_arg__ ("pcolor", varargin{:}); if (nargin == 1) c = varargin{1}; [nr, nc] = size (c); x = 1:nc; y = 1:nr; z = zeros (nr, nc); elseif (nargin == 3) x = varargin{1}; y = varargin{2}; c = varargin{3}; z = zeros (size (c)); else print_usage (); endif oldfig = []; if (! isempty (hax)) oldfig = get (0, "currentfigure"); endif unwind_protect hax = newplot (hax); htmp = surface (x, y, z, c); set (htmp, "facecolor", "flat"); if (! ishold ()) set (hax, "view", [0, 90], "box", "on"); ## FIXME: Maybe this should be in the general axis limit setting routine? ## When values are integers (such as from meshgrid), we want to ## use tight limits for pcolor, mesh, surf, etc. Situation is ## complicated immensely by vector or matrix input and meshgrid() ## or ndgrid() format. meshgrid_fmt = true; if (isvector (x)) xrng = x(isfinite (x)); else xrng = x(1, isfinite (x(1,:))); # meshgrid format (default) if (all (xrng == xrng(1))) xrng = x(isfinite (x(:,1)), 1); # ndgrid format meshgrid_fmt = false; endif endif if (isvector (y)) yrng = y(isfinite (y)); else if (meshgrid_fmt) yrng = y(isfinite (y(:,1)), 1); else yrng = y(1, isfinite (y(1,:))); endif endif if (all (xrng == fix (xrng))) xmin = min (xrng); xmax = max (xrng); if (xmin < xmax) xlim ([xmin, xmax]); endif endif if (all (yrng == fix (yrng))) ymin = min (yrng); ymax = max (yrng); if (ymin < ymax) ylim ([ymin, ymax]); endif endif endif unwind_protect_cleanup if (! isempty (oldfig)) set (0, "currentfigure", oldfig); endif end_unwind_protect if (nargout > 0) h = htmp; endif endfunction %!demo %! clf; %! colormap ("default"); %!
