Re: OT: visualizing 3D data

[Robert A. Macy]

Jeff,

If it's a surface you're displaying, gsplot works well and
is fast for interactive display.

>> gsplot  data
...if data is real values of x and y dimensions you get a
surface plot that you can move around with your mouse to
examine the structure.  

try
>> x = randn(25,50);
>> gsplot x;

if data is a set of values in x,y,z I have no idea.
