`waterfall`

Draws a mesh with lines in one direction only, like a waterfall of curves.

Syntax

waterfall(Z)

Draws one curve per row of Z.

waterfall(X, Y, Z)

Uses X and Y as coordinates.

h = waterfall(___)

Also returns the handle.

Description

It is a mesh plot with the column lines removed, so each row of Z appears as a separate curve stacked in the y direction. This is a convenient way to compare how a signal changes from one record to the next, such as spectra over time.

Input arguments

X, Y, Z: Coordinates, as for mesh.

Output arguments

h: Handle of the graphics object.

Example

Peaks as stacked curves

[X, Y, Z] = peaks(20);
waterfall(X, Y, Z)

In the app, the figure is drawn below the code.
