Matlab Demo
My favorite demonstration in the Matlab help menu was the one about 3-D plots. The different methods of coloring or shading the peaks and valleys of the three-dimensional graph intrigue me, and I think the applications for such a tool are endless. The contour option for the graph gives an interesting bird's-eye view in the same way that a cartographer designs maps. All of the options for three-dimensional graphing have a very specific but necessary purpose, and I could see myself using this feature in the future.
