Swap axis in 3d figure

Hello,

I have a 3d plot, for example obtained with a surf command. How can I swap or exchange the x and z axis (with the corresponding ticklabels)?

With the rotate command I can rotate the figure, but the axis remain the same...

Thanks in advance,

Ana

This dos not exchange the X and the Z axis, but the data:

AxesH = axes;
[x, y, z] = sphere;
H = surf(x, y, z, 'parent', AxesH);
pause(2);

xx = get(H, 'XData');
zz = get(H, 'Zdata');
set(H, 'XData', zz, 'ZData', xx);

Afterwards view() can rotate the scene.

That is exactly what I needed! Thank you very much!

The only thing I would may like to change is the axe which the color is referenced to. Is there any easy way to do this?

Thank you again!

The property 'CData' controls the color. So you can try one of these methods:

set(H, 'CData', get(H, 'YData'))

set(H, 'CData', get(H, 'ZData'))

set(H, 'CData', get(H, 'XData'))

Perhaps you can to scale the values or define a colormap accordingly.

That's perfect!! Thank you very much!!

Try the view() command

I have already tried with that command but I cannot manage to get the desired result...
