MatLab Demonstration

3D Plots

My favorite MatLab demonstration is the one describing 3D plots. I find it interesting because not only is it simple enough to follow, but I also like how there are many different ways to display the same set of data. For example you can view the data as either a mesh plot, a surface plot, a contour plot, a quiver, or a slice.
