Plot 2D points in 3D space

Hi there

So I'm struggling to find a way in which I can represent a 2D trjaectory in a 3D plot. I'm viewing the trajectory from a certain distance away from the origin.

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

What ideas do you have? Did you try something?

What about plot3()?

Since your trajectory is defined by two vectors, if you want to plot it in 3D space, you need to provide another vector. The easiest way to do that is to define it as a vector of ones:

x = ...;
y = ...;
z = ones(size(x));

then plot all three vectors. Multiply the ones vector by the appropriate scalar to produce the result you want.

Hi

I'm using plot3 and managed to get it sorted, but thanks!
