Creating 3D Surface Plots with Matlab

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on creating 3D surface plots using MATLAB, specifically through the use of the MainGUI.m file from the MathWorks File Exchange. Users are advised to ensure that all files from the download link (http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28177-3d-surface-plots-from-excel-data-gui) are extracted to a single directory and that MATLAB's current directory is set correctly. Additionally, attention is drawn to the importance of following the readme instructions regarding the labeling of Excel sheets to avoid issues with loading data.

Hey MechEng2010 and welcome to the forums.

I'm just wondering if you have extracted all the files to a directory, set either the current directory or directories to include to that directory and then executed the file?

I have noticed that the other files are in the ZIP, and also that there is a readme for how excel sheets should be labeled (if you get to this point where you can't load up a spreadsheet properly).
