I am importing three different data sets from excel sheet and I want to plot the latitude, longitude on x and y axis and energy on z axis.
Whenever I import the three data-sets and use the surface function, matlab displays an error that Z must be a matrix not a scalar or vector. I am unable to rectify this as I feel the imported data is already in the form of a matrix.
Please suggest the edit to rectify the error.
PROGRAM:
close all
clear all
clc
[~,long_energy] = xlsread('Energy','B:B');
[~,lat_energy] = xlsread('Energy','A:A');
EE = xlsread('Energy', 'J:J');
lat = str2double(lat_energy);
long = str2double(long_energy);
surf(lat,long, EE);

Yes. First column is Latitude, second is Longitude and the last is Energy.

num = xlsread('Energy.xlsx');
long_energy = num(:,2);
lat_energy = num(:,1);
EE = num(:,end);
F = scatteredInterpolant(long_energy, lat_energy, EE);
min_long = min(long_energy);
min_lat = min(lat_energy);
max_long = max(long_energy);
max_lat = max(lat_energy);
proj_long = linspace(min_long, max_long, 100);
proj_lat = linspace(min_lat, max_lat, 100);
[PROJ_LONG, PROJ_LAT] = ndgrid(proj_long, proj_lat);
PROJ_EE = F(PROJ_LONG, PROJ_LAT);
surf(PROJ_LONG, PROJ_LAT, PROJ_EE, 'edgecolor', 'none');

I tried this approah with my own data, but when using surf, I still get the error "Z must be a matrix, not a scaler or vector".

It sounds like you're looking for
scatter3(x,y,z)

Yes! scatter3(x,y,z) is indeed what i was looking for, thank you!

Attempt with Mat lab to produce the results shown on slides 30, 32, 37, 38, 43, 44, 48, 52, 56, 57, 59, 60, 70, 71, 72.

When x, y and z are vector, you can't use surf(x,y,z). x,y and z should be matrices of the same size look at surf function. What you can do with your vectors is
plot3(lat,long, EE)

Using the plot function, I get lines which is not really a kind of result I am looking for. I want to portray the result using a surface.

All you need to do for that is specifying '.' as your marker:
plot3(lat,long, EE,'.')
The rest is also just customizing your plot.

you can try to use the interp2() function. I haven't checked your excel file but it may accomplish what you're looking for. by using your data and attempting to put it in a meshgrid format.

bump, same question - what's the best way to plot a set of X, Y and Z data?
