Surface Plot
We will plot the surface of equation z = x2 y 2 as well as the level curves for c = 2, 1, 0, 1, 2. In MATLAB, to get a rectangular domain 2 x 2, 2 y 2 in steps of 0.2, we use the command >> [x, y] = meshgrid([-2:0.2:2],[-2:0.2:2]); We calculate z = x2 y 2 as follows (note the use of .s). >> z = x.^2 - y.^2; To obtain the surface plot, we use either of the following. >> mesh(x,y,z) >> surf(x,y,z) %this one has colors
To plot the level curves for c = 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, we use the following commands. >> [c,h]=contour(x,y,z,[-2,-1,0,1,2]); >> clabel(c,h) %this labels the c values on the contour plot
