I know surf(x,y,z,c) will use matrix c to map color, but how does it work? since matrix c actually has the size of z, instead of size of z x 3 (that's what I thought first, for I thought you specified the RGB for each element of z), how does matlab map c to different color schemes? For example,

surf(x,y,z,c); colormap winter

So how does matlab find the corresponding color based on c?

It uses the standard color mapping techniques: min value of c maps to the lowest entry in the color map, max value of c maps to the highest entry in the color map, everything in between maps linearly in to color map index numbers.

You can change properties to change the mapping strategy.

Thank you. Now it makes sense to me. So if I don't use c, then the values of z will be mapped the same way, right?

If you do not use c then z will be copied to the internal property that c would otherwise go in (CData) and then the mapping proceeds in exactly the same way.
