Surface plot with custom data tip

Hello,

So, I have 4 data vectors X Y Z and F. A little example is something like this:

X = 2.3573 2.3366 2.3123 2.2936 
Y = 1.2322 1.1182 1.2204 1.2158
Z = 0.9870 0.9849 0.9871 0.9870
F = 9600 10560 11520 12480

I want to plot this in a 3d surface plot, and later be able to create a custom data tip showing the information of the X, Y, Z and also the F.

I was able to do it with scatter3:

But I can't find a way to do a surface plot like this, and still be able to make a custom data tip.

Another question, can I use the same updatefcn for different figures, using a switch-case?

Use griddata to interpolate your data

xx = linspace(min(X),max(X),20);
yy = linspace(min(Y),max(Y),20);
[X1,Y1] = meshgrid(xx,yy);
Z1 = griddata(X,Y,Z,X1,Y1);
F1 = griddata(X,Y,F,X1,Y1);
surf(X1,Y1,Z1,'cdata',F1)
