Heat Map from ribbion

I want to project a 2d line into 3d sapce. I have used ribbon(x,y) to get the 3d projection but. But I want to generate a heat map of that 3d figure.

a =field.x ; % x values
b = field.z_m; %y values
ribbon(a,b)

Is it possible to generate a heat map using ribbon. If not, do you guys have a way to create a 3d surface from a 2d line and get the heat map?

Hey Pruthvi,

The following documentation goes into details regarding the ribbon function, spedifically on how to modify its colormap :

You can also play around with it by launching the example from the MATLAB Command Line using the command below:

openExample('graphics/SpecifyRibbonPlotColormapExample')
