Hi,

I have a mesh plot. I want to see it from a different axis point of
view. How do I change the orientation of this mesh plot?

Thanks

[X,Y] = meshgrid(-3:.125:3);
Z = peaks(X,Y);
meshc(X,Y,Z);
axis([-3 3 -3 3 -10 5])
rotate3d on % <--- here's the key

Now click and drag on the plot.

Hi, thanks for your reply..
but this is not what I wanted... I'll make myself clear..
I have a mesh plot. This mesh plot shows the surface in the xy
direction. But, how do I generate a different mesh plot showing the
surface in the yz direction instead of in the xy direction. I'm not
talking of just rotating the plot. I want a different mesh with the
surface in the yz direction to be in the xy direction..

Hope I made myself clear.. Thanks for the help..

mesh(X,zeros(size(X)),Y)
