How to plot a 3d surf plot?

I am executing the following code to plot a 3d surface. I get an error. Can I get some help to correct it. Or if there any altternate plots? For every value of z, I have a data of 26 x 26 which needs to be displayed.

clc; clear all;

% Create a sample 3D matrix of size 26 x 26 x 250
% Replace this with your actual data
data = rand(26, 26, 251);

% Define the x, y, and z coordinates
x = linspace(0, 1.5, 26);
y = linspace(0, 1.5, 26);
z = linspace(0,0.025,251);

% Create meshgrids for the x, y, and z coordinates
[X, Y, Z] = meshgrid(x, y, z);

% Create a figure
figure;

% Create a 3D surface plot
surf(X, Y, Z, squeeze(data));

Error using matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Surface
Value must be a vector or 2D array of numeric type.

Error in surf (line 145)
hh = matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Surface(allargs{:});

% Customize plot labels and title
xlabel('X Axis (m)');
ylabel('Y Axis (m)');
zlabel('Z Axis');
title('3D Surface Plot');

% Set viewing angle and axis limits as needed
view(3); % 3D view
axis tight; % Tighten the axis limits
colorbar; % Add a color bar

You do not have 3D surface. You have a 26 x 26 x 251 cuboid, and you have a data value for each location in the cuboid. That is not a surface, that is a volume

You can use

volumeViewer(data)

but unfortunately volumeViewer and the underlying volshow do not permit setting the scales or limits of the axes.

Hi @Walter Roberson,

the data is 26 x 26 x 251 size and the goal is to club the 251 color maps obtained from 26 x 26 data. Do you any suggestions for visualization apart from volumeViewer?

I do not understand what it means to "club" a color map ? I also do not understand how you are generating a color map from the 26 x 26 slice ?

Have you looked at slice

Thanks, @Walter Roberson, Slice looks a good option
