how to plot line profiles in 3D

Hi,

Could someone please advise me how I can plot this graph in matlab?

This graph just displays 45 profiles side by side and displayed in 3D. Velocity is on Y axis and time is on the x axis.

This is a 2D example

Hi,

I'm not very good at matlab, if I import the coordinates like this:

x = load('x.txt.');
y1 = load('y1.txt.');
y2 = load('y2.txt.');

What would be the command to plot the two lines side by side? so it would be (x,y1) and (x,y2).

Thank you very much

John

plot(x,y1,'b-',x,y2,'r--')

x/y1 will be a blue and solid, x/y2 will be red dashed

I used the command above and rotated it but it came out like this
