Re: NaN and Surf function

[Etienne Grossmann]

  Hi all,

I just checked that the following still works (non-regular grids and
nans):

 x = linspace (-1,1,21); [x,y] = meshgrid (x,x); z = x.^2 + y.^2; x = 
x.*(1+z/2); y = y.*(1+z/2); z(floor(rand(1,10)*21^2)) = nan; vmesh(x,y,z)

results in the snapshot in attachment. You will need freewrl
(.sourceforge.net) though.

  Hth,

  Etienne
