Re: surface plot

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

Perhaps
meshgrid(xx,yy,zz);

gives tree dimensional array

octave:22> x=[0 1]
x =

   0   1

octave:23> [x2,y2,z2]=meshgrid(x,x,x)
x2 =

ans(:,:,1) =

   0   1
   0   1

ans(:,:,2) =

   0   1
   0   1



y2 =

ans(:,:,1) =

   0   0
   1   1

ans(:,:,2) =

   0   0
   1   1



z2 =

ans(:,:,1) =

   0   0
   0   0

ans(:,:,2) =

   1   1
   1   1

***************
However, in my case your operation gives

octave:31> xx = linspace(1,12,50);
octave:32> yy=linspace(2,9,50);
octave:33> zz = linspace(0.4,2000,50);
octave:34> [x2,y2,z2] = meshgrid(xx,yy,zz);
octave:35> surface(x2,y2,z2);

and a plot appears.

I have tested on octave-3.2.4/mingw32 on octave-forge website.

BTW, did you install the octave-forge packages?
If you install the octave-forge package, please read carefully and treat the 
oct2mat issue
