Matlab Demos

I really liked the earth's topography demo. The demo begins with a contour graph of the earth in a 2D plot. Subsequently, matlab adds elevation to the contour of the 2D plot. Finally, the earth is graph in a 3D plot that also incorporates the elevation shown in the previous 2D plot .

This demonstration caught my attention because I think it is really cool to graph basically anything -in this case the earth- with just a bunch of data. What I liked the most about this demo is that it shows interesting ways to use Matlab to graph. For instance, you can add elevation to a graph and assign colors to its different regions. You can use 2D plots or 3D to represent the same idea. Or, you can also start building a theoretically complex graph, such as the earth's 3D map, from just an idea - in this case from a contour.

I also liked the Minesweeper game, I had no idea matlab could do something like this!
