Representing data as surface

Hello, I am trying to plot a surface from my data (x,y,z). I have a collection of data with the following (X, Y, Z) triplets:

I have represented x, y and z in the form of matrix (as shown in my code below) and I have tried to represent the values of z with respect to x and y and that s what i have found as result:

The result is not correct, I wanted to have the 25 values of z represented each one in a specific color.

for example for x=1 and y=25, i want to have a colored surface that represent z= 0.192678 and the same thing for all the others.

(with stem3, it s ok, i have my 25 vertices but i want to obtain 25 colored surfaces)

This is my code and data:

close all
clear all
x=[1 1.02 1.06 1.08 1.1 ;1 1.02 1.06 1.08 1.1; 1 1.02 1.06 1.08 1.1;1 1.02 1.06 1.08 1.1;1 1.02 1.06 1.08 1.1];
y=[25 25 25 25 25; 28 28 28 28 28; 30 30 30 30 30; 35 35 35 35 35; 40 40 40 40 40];
z=[0.1926782273603 25.7666609559705 26.3758732322372 17.0874435713091 2.61780104712041;...

figure
%  stem3(x,y,z)
  surf(x,y,z)
% shading flat
 colormap jet

Any help would be strongly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

See if adding

view(20, 20)

after your surf call does what you want.

Hello,Thank you for your quick reply.

I try it now, but i have always the same result; no changes in the obtained figure

[Star Strider]

What result do you want?

[Kaouthar Kaouthar]

I want to represent the corresponding z of each couple (x,y) by a surface in order to obtain a map containing the 25 values of z represented by surfaces at the end.

I strated by this link,(https://fr.mathworks.com/help/matlab/visualize/representing-a-matrix-as-a-surface.html) it gives how to plot what i want but with vertices (reshaping data in the link)

I want the same thing but with surfaces not vertices.

Thank you again!

My pleasure.

THe surf plot creates a surface, so it does what you say you want.

I have no idea what you want, so:

Try this:

figure
surf(x,y,z)
view(20, 20)
shading('interp')
colormap jet

or this:

[X,Y] = meshgrid(1:0.01:1.1, 25:0.25:40);
Z = griddata(x, y, z, X, Y, 'cubic');

figure
surf(X, Y, Z)
view(20, 20)
shading('interp')
colormap jet

to see if those are what you want. Note that the second just interpolates to a finer grid, and uses a cubic interpolation function.
