SUMMARY

The discussion centers on replicating a 3D plot in MATLAB that visualizes bike ride data using longitude, latitude, and elevation coordinates. The user recalls using a stem3 plot but is unable to apply a Jet colormap to it. They reference MATLAB's plotting capabilities and suggest that the desired effect may resemble a stream ribbon plot instead. The conversation also hints at the possibility of recovering lost source code through email archives.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MATLAB plotting functions, specifically stem3 and colormaps.
  • Understanding of 3D data visualization concepts.
  • Knowledge of data recovery techniques, particularly in relation to lost code.
  • Basic skills in handling geographic data, such as longitude and latitude coordinates.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to apply colormaps in MATLAB, specifically for 3D plots.
  • Explore the use of stream ribbon plots in MATLAB for visualizing elevation data.
  • Investigate data recovery methods for lost MATLAB source code.
  • Learn about the different types of MATLAB plots and their applications.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for MATLAB users, data visualization specialists, and anyone interested in recovering lost programming code or enhancing their plotting techniques in MATLAB.

About 10 years ago I wrote a program to log my bike rides in Matlab, and part of that program generated a plot whose x and y coordinates were longitude and latitude coordinates and whose z coordinate was the elevation. Sadly, a computer crash and bad backup habits caused me to lose my code. I can't for the the life me remember what Matlab 3d plot I used to create the effect. It looked like the attached plot, except with a Jet colormap.

I want to think it was a stem3 plot, but I'm unable to apply a jet colormap to a stem3 plot. Am I missing something?
