plot3 temperature color

Hi, I have this plot 3d:

figure()
plot3(X,Y,Z)

where X and Y are coordinate and Z is the correspondent temperature value for each couple of (x,y), as for exampe: x1=0, y1=0, z1=28°C...

But now, I want to color the plot changing the color depending from the temperature.

How can I do? Please, help me

Thanks,

Michela

You need to plot a scatter plot. Read about scatter and scatter3

Can you please give ma an example?

Looks like you are looking for scatter3().

[Michela Longhi]

My code is:

fileID_A=fopen('coordinate.txt');
A = textscan(fileID_A,'%f %f %f');
X=A{2};
Y=A{3};
Z=A{1};

figure()
scatter3 (X,Y,Z)
colormap(jet);
colorbar;

But it not works, why? Thank you

[José-Luis]

It not works is not a helpful description of your problem. What do you get and what do you expect?

Is there an error message and if so, what is it?

I wrote:

plot3(X,Y,Z)
c = 1:numel(Y);      %# colors
h = surface([X(:), X(:)], [Y(:), Y(:)], [Z(:), Z(:)], [c(:), c(:)], 'EdgeColor','flat', 'FaceColor','none','Linewidth',2);
colormap( jet(numel(Y)) )

But I want that the color change with the temperature value. How can I do???
