Plot Cubes in Matalb

Hi...I have a question about plotting cubes in Matlab. I have a program that generates n-cubes where each cube has a value associated with it. For example, I start with a simple 3x3x3 center that represents the center of cube and I have a value for each cube. So I have

CubeCenter = 3x27: Where column 1 is x, column 2 is y, and column 3 is the z coordinates.

CubeCenterValue = 1x27: Where is I have the value for each cube center.

Is there a way to plot the 27 cubes where it has a different color. Furthermore, is there a way to plot the cubes in 3-d and also plot a cross-section of just 9 of the cubes in 2-d with a different color.

Thanks in advance...Chad

Cube Plot

X=linspace(-1,1,101); % Define point on x axis

Y=ones(size(X)); % define points of y axis

Z=Y;% define point on z axis

%%SURFACE AT Z=1

plot3([X fliplr(X)], [Y (-1*Y)], [Z (Z)],'r')

xlabel('X')

hold on

%%SURFACE AT Z=-1

plot3([X fliplr(X)],[Y (-1*Y)],[(-1*Z) (-1*Z)],'b')

xlabel('X')

hold on

%%SURFACE AT Y=1

plot3([X fliplr(X)], [Y Y], [Z (-1*Z)], 'k')

ylabel('Y')

hold on

%%SURFACE AT Y=-1

plot3([X fliplr(X)],[(-1*Y) (-1*Y)], [Y (-1*Y)], 'y')

ylabel('Y')

hold on

%%SURFACE AT X=1

plot3([Z Z], [Y (-1*Y)],[X fliplr(X)], 'm')

zlabel('Z')

hold on

%%SURFACE AT X=-1

plot3([(-1*Z) (-1*Z)], [Y (-1*Y)],[X fliplr(X)], 'c')

zlabel('Z')

hold off
