creating 3D mesh for some points in space

91 次查看(过去 30 天)
So I have these points, A, B, C, ... in 3D. Their coordinates are denoted by x, y, z. For example point A has these coordinates: if x=2.5 and y=12, then z is 3, and B is x=4, y=3, and z=15; and so on.
So i created three arrays to show my points:
x=[2.5 4 6 18 9]; y=[12 3 7.5 1 10]; z=[3 15 16 8 11.5];
and i want to create a 3D mesh from my points (A, B, ...). There are total of 9 points.
I am able to create plot3 and/or scatter3 but not mesh :(
Ive spent already a full week on this and read many tutorials and such but i just get more confused and dont get it. Please help! Thanks!

A mesh for only nine points? And z is not a function of x and y? What sort of visual result are you expecting?

trimesh is probably what you want to use. You can also use delaunay to generate the triangulation matrix that trimesh requires.
x=[2.5 4 6 18 9];
y=[12 3 7.5 1 10];
z=[3 15 16 8 11.5];
tri = delaunay(x, y);
trimesh(tri, x, y, z);

Thanks. This is good but i think a smoother sruface like like surface mesh is what im looking for. Something to show at x and y coordinates, what is the z (distance.) I have about 9 z distances and basically want to find a good visual way. But thanks again.

Yes all, there is a solution, it has been stated. "Use griddata() or TriScatteredInterp to interpolate a grid of data from your points; then you can create a mesh from that."

You can't use mesh with your data. You will need more data. for example
x=[2.5 4 6 18 9];
y=[12 3 7.5 1 10];
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y)
% and for example
Z=X+Y
mesh(X,Y,Z)
% To understand, to create a mush plot with x=[1 2], and y=[ 10 20], you need
x=1,y=10
x=1,y=20,
x=2,y=10,
x=2,y=20
%to obtain these combinations we use
x=[1 2],
y=[ 10 20]
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y)
% find the corresponding z to each point
Z=cos(X+Y) % for example
mesh(X,Y,Z)

Thanks for explanation. But since my Z is not a function of X and Y, i guess mesh and meshgrid could not be useful.

Use griddata() or TriScatteredInterp to interpolate a grid of data from your points; then you can create a mesh from that.
Or you may wish to create a trimesh() once you have done a triangulation.

Lala,
did you ever find a solution? I have the same issue
