Slice along a curved plane

It is easy to plot slices along a straight line plane (e.g. x=-50, and y=40 in the first figure) using the slice function.

[x,y,z]=meshgrid(-55:0.1:-25,30:0.1:60,1:1:150); slice(x,y,z,c,-50,40,[]); shading flat;

However, how can I get a slice along a curved plane (like the second figure)?

After some digging, problem solved. I figured I should share the solution here.

The index terms (xd,yd,zd) need to be 2-D.

[yd,zd]=meshgrid(lat,depth);

[xd,zd]=meshgrid(lon,depth);

slice(x,y,z,c,xd,yd,zd);

Basically, what I already said a day earlier in my answer: "Just pass a matrix of location for your x and y slice location"

Sometimes, you wonder why bother answering questions...

Just pass a matrix of location for your x and y slice location instead of fixed -50, 40. There's even an example in the documentation of slice
