What is the most suitable way to plot how changes in two variables affect another variable?

I have three variables: X, Y and Z.

• I want to scale X and Y to see what effect this has on Z.
• Specifically, I would like the ratio between X and Y to increase from 1 to 10. Thus, I would have a 1x10 vector for X, a 1x10 vector for Y and for each of these 100 combinations I would like to see the value of Z.

What is the best way to plot this?

Thanks!

Perhaps the surf plot does what you want?
