3D plot, draw (X,Y,Z,value)

how to performe a plot like contours (X,Y,Z,Value)

I have a set of data

for example

(1,1,1)=5

(1,1,2)=7

(1,2,1)=6

i want to plot it like a 3D with legend

Sample for the data

X Y Z Value

This does not make sense to me.

I’m posting this in the event someone else may have some insight into it —

Perhaps @John D&#39;Errico's <HighDimensionalPlottingIssues> will be of some conceptual benefit to the poster...

You can use scatter3 with marker size/color to represent value, though it is not a contour.

xyzv = [  1  1  0.000  1.000 
          1  1  0.005  2.000 
          1  1  0.010  3.000 
          1  1  0.015  4.000 
          1  1  0.020  5.000 
          1  1  0.025  6.000 
          1  2  0.000  7.000 
          1  2  0.005  8.000 
          1  2  0.010  9.000 
          1  2  0.015  10.000 
          1  2  0.020  11.000 
          1  2  0.025  12.000 
          1  3  0.000  13.000 
          1  3  0.005  14.000 
          1  3  0.010  15.000 
          1  3  0.015  16.000 
          1  3  0.020  17.000 
          1  3  0.025  18.000

          2  1  0.010  21.000 
          2  1  0.015  22.000 
          2  1  0.020  23.000

          2  2  0.010  27.000 
          2  2  0.015  28.000 
          2  2  0.020  29.000 
          2  2  0.025  30.000 
          2  3  0.000  31.000 
          2  3  0.005  32.000 
          2  3  0.010  33.000 
          2  3  0.015  34.000 
          2  3  0.020  35.000 
          2  3  0.025  36.000 ];

% Use scatter3
scatter3(xyzv(:,1), xyzv(:,2), xyzv(:,3), xyzv(:,4), xyzv(:,4))
