Using countourf for 1D vectors

Hi.

I have 3 unidimensional vectors like: x=[x1,x2,x3,...]; y=[y1,y2,y3,...] and z=[z1,z2,z3,...]. z is a function of x and y, and I have a pair x/y for each z value z1=f(x1,y1).

If a try to use contourf, I need a matrix and I get a lot of NaN elements, with these NaN I cant't reach a good visualization of my signal.

Would you have some solution to display some level courbes with just the vectors?

Thank you.

Show us the code you have for x,y and z....it can be sorted..

By using meshgrid and griddata, you can create contour from 3 unidimensional vectors, like:

% 1D data
x = randn(1,400);
y = randn(1,400);
z = x.*exp(-x.^2-y.^2)

% Interpolate for x-y grid
[xq,yq] = meshgrid(-2:.2:2, -2:.2:2);
zq = griddata(x,y,z,xq,yq);

% Visualize the result
figure
contourf(xq,yq,zq);
colorbar;

I got the same problem, a lot of NaN values...
