MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB Demonstration is named 3-D Surface Plots under the Graphics category. This particular demonstration caught my attention because the 3-D graphs that it generates are similar to the 3-D surface graphs that are shown in my multivariable calculus textbook. I have spent the last week learning about how to predict the shapes of 3-D graphs so it is interesting to actually see them generated. Additionally, I like how this demonstration allows the user to change the plot type (waterfall, mesh, surface) as well as the plot color and plot shading. In general, I am very interested in graphics and have thereby found the 3-D surface plots demonstration very interesting.
