how do i plot this 4-D double matrix?

hello again, i have this files that i extracted from my hydrodynamic simulation on delft3d, but i need to actually see them as a whole, since i already extracted the particular data i needed.

so how can i plot ?

any ideas, i am a newbie and i dont know coding, so please something detailed :) thanks

"so how can I plot"

Your question is so general as to be basically meaningless. You show us a table of eighteen variables and you do not tell us which variables you want to plot, you do not tell us anything about how the data is arranged, or what combinations you want to plot, or what plot types you want to use, or anything else relevant.

The most correct (and also most helpful) response to such a general question is the general answer "go and read the MATLAB documentation".

Good luck!

its a 71 x 42 matrix, with 6 layers and 8784 timesteps for every one of the 6 layers.

since its too large i split it in 4 parts when i exported using quickplot (matlab data viewer for delft3d).

sorry for the "lack" of deepness, but i dont know this at all, not even how to answer it and i certainly look it up and i just dont quite get it.

so please help me ;)

For any one timestep, how would you like to see the 71 x 42 matrix of 6 layers visualized?

For example is layer N "on top" of layer (N-1) and there are NaN values for each location where the layer below should show through?

[roberto ivan perez luna]

yes, the layers are from vertical depth, 1 is at the surface and 6 is at the bottom.

and yes, there are NaN values, since not all of the 71x42 dimentions have values, because it is the surface of an estuary.

and like this one, since i have to show how well mixed it is.

any help, please ;)

Use slice() to display in the form of the plot you have posted.
