Syntax

c = contourc(z)

c = contourc(z, n)

c = contourc(z, h)

c = contourc(x, y, z)

c = contourc(x, y, z, n)

c = contourc(x, y, z, h)

Calculates the contour lines of a surface. You can use the contour function or the contourf function to generate a contour plot.

Name	Description
x	Specifies the surface from z in relation to the x-plane. x is a matrix. size(x) must equal size(z).
y	Specifies the surface from z in relation to the y-plane. y is a matrix. size(y) must equal size(z).
z	Specifies the height of the surface in relation to the z-plane. z is a matrix.
n	Specifies the number of contour lines you want to plot.
h	Specifies the height levels. h is a vector. length(h) must equal the number of contour lines you want to plot.

Name	Description
c	Returns the contour lines of the surface z. c is a real matrix with two rows. The first column of c indicates the height level, h, and the number of coordinates, k, of the contour line at that height level. The next k columns specify the x- and y-coordinates of the contour line.

z = peaks(50);
c = contourc(z);
