How to plot many curves on a x-y-x axis system

Dear users,

I have a numeric matrix (n x m) where each colum stand for the magnetic field measured versus the length of the coil.

There are 20 measured performed for 1 hours each 180s.

The lengh of the coil is 1000 thus n=1000. Let note that m=20.

I would like plot the 20 measurements versus the lengh in a x-y plot but in inserting a thirdth dimension (z) to see the curves at the different time that to say z stands for te time.

I reserached on the web, in blogs a solution without success.

I hope the description of the issue is quite clear and that someone had already met this problem.

Can you help me or give some clues?

Best regards.

sounds like plot3 is what you want, though I'll warn you that getting readable figures out is more an art than a science

I tried this function but the result is not good.

I chose the mesh function that gives more or less what that I wanted.

I would like remove les lines that join les curves but I did not manage to do it.

Maybe impossible to do it?

please comment on answers instead of creating new ones.

What don't you like about plot3? If it is the fact that the lines have a single color, you might be able to use this solution to fix that.

The mesh plot is a 2D object, which doesn't sound like what you want, and I don't believe there is a way to only have one direction of mesh
