How do I plot a multivariate piecewise continuous function?

Hi, I wish to plot a mesh and a contour of multivariate piecewise continuous functions but everytime I try something, I end up getting the wrong or no plot at all.

Here is a sample function that I have been trying to plot

which is a rhombic function and must lead to a rhombic contour.

What range of x and y do you want to plot for?

[Rohit Sinha]

@Dyuman Joshi The range is mentioned in the problem statement in the conditions. For simplicity, x and y both lie between -1 and 1

The last and the first domain are intersecting so you have 2 different definitions of your function for example at x=0,y=-1, is f(x,y) = 0-1-1=-2 or 0+1-1=0?

k=meshgrid(-1:0.01:1);
for i=1:size(k,1)
    for j=1:size(k,2)
        if k(i).. & k(j)..
            f(i,j)=..;
        elseif k(i).. & k(j)..
            f(i,j)=..;
        end
    end
end
surf(-1:0.01:1, -1:0.01:1, f)

Why don't you write a simple function for F with 4 if-statements for the 4 cases ?

function value = F(x,y)
  if x ... && y ...
    value = ...
  elseif x ... && y ...
    value = ...
  elseif x... && y ...
    value = ...
  elseif x ... && y ...
    value = ....
  else
   disp('x and/or y out of range')
  end
end
