Superposing multiple 3d plots

Hello,

To superpose 2d plots, I just use the command `hold on` before plotting. However, when I try using this with 3d plots `plot3()`, I get a 2d projection of the superposed plots, instead of getting a 3d plot. What is going on?

Example syntax:

figure
plot3(x,y,z,'k.-')

gives me a 3d plot as expected. However, adding a point at the origin:

figure; hold on
plot3(rx,ry,rz,'k.-')
plot3(0,0,0,'ro')

gives a flat 2d image. Am I typing something wrong? Thank you.

You should be able to get the 3D view back by just specifying it explicitly after the plotting is done.

view(3)

Yes it worked. But I don't understand what happened. What does `view(3)` do?
