Surf with wrong colors

I'm using surf to make 3d plots, but one of them comes out weird and I cannot understand why..thus is the figure that comes out:

even if the colormap on the right looks fine, the surface is completely black, even if I change 'FaceAlpha' and no matter how I rotate it...how can I fix this?

"how can I fix this?"

Two options:

1. Don't plot so many points.
2. Turn off the edge color.

Grid is too fine, set 'edgecolor' off.

surf(X,Y,Z,'edgecolor','none')

Hi Jonas,

i think it is

EdgeColor

instead of

edgecolor

- isnt it?

Best regards

I think the set method (or name/value pair) is not case sensitive, as opposed to the dot method. For example

H.edgecolor

Does not work while

set(H, edgecolor,...)

works

Again learned a lesson ;-)

Thank you!

The set function has been around for quite a while (I believe it was introduced as a part of the original Handle Graphics system, but that's before my time at MathWorks.) It was and is permissive with respect to the case of graphics object property names.

The [object].[property name] syntax for Handle Graphics objects was introduced in release R2014b. Object property name indexing in general is case sensitive, and property name indexing for Handle Graphics objects is no exception.
