I’m not exactly certain what the desired result is, however in a surf plot for example, the surface object hass the information —
[X,Y,Z] = peaks;
figure
hs = surf(X, Y, Z) % Create Handle To 'surface' Object
hs =
Surface with properties:
EdgeColor: [0 0 0]
LineStyle: '-'
FaceColor: 'flat'
FaceLighting: 'flat'
FaceAlpha: 1
XData: [49×49 double]
YData: [49×49 double]
ZData: [49×49 double]
CData: [49×49 double]
Show all properties
grid on
So for example to get the ‘ZData’ matrix —
Z_surf = hs.ZData
Z_surf = 49×49
