Hi there
Please forgive me for re-sending this e-mail. In the haste of
sending the e-mail I forgot to add a Subject line to my e-mail.
Can somebody please assist me to plot a multiple mesh plot with a
user-defined legend.
So far the following works to plot more than one mesh plot in one
window on one axis...
mesh(x,y,z)
hold
mesh(i,j,k)
However, I can not manage to add a legend that describes each mesh
and its colour. The figure just displays
line 1, line2, etc with the colour of the mesh.
I would like to rename these "lines".
Can you tell us which version of Octave your are running?
In any event, take a look at "help colormap" ... does that do what you
need?

Hi Ben
Thank you for the response. I'm using GNU Octave, version 2.1.73.
I had a look at "help colormap" but this as far as I understand only
manages the colour of the different plots. The part I would really
would like to edit is the description given to each mesh/surface
drawn on the axis. Something like "help legend" provides the
following:
" Legend puts a legend on the current plot using the specified strings
as labels. Use independant strings (@var{st1}, @var{st2},
@var{st3}...), a
matrix of strings (@var{matstr}), or a cell array of strings
(@var{cell})
to specify legends. Legend works on line graphs, bar graphs, etc..."
I could not apply this command successfully to a multiple mesh plot.
Your help will be appreciated.
Regards
Xandri
