Looking for a variation of waterfall plot in matlab

Question

I have a 3-dimensional data to be plotted in matlab. The data set are built by stacking 10 exponential curves with different parameters along y directions such as

Answer 1

"it is plotted with lines instead of patch with surface".
In other words, you want the boundary lines to be invisible. Well that's no trivial feat as the boundary lines are separate from any color scheme you can directly include. What you need to do is get the data after it drawn then modify it accordingly:

e.g.

[X,Y,Z] = peaks(30);
h = waterfall (X,Y,Z);
CD = get (h, 'CData');
CD(1,:) = nan;
CD(end-2:end,:) = nan;
set (h, 'CData', CD)

note that CD(1,:) is for the "rising" boundary, while CD(end-2:end-1,:) is for the falling boundary, and CD(end,:) is for the bottom.

Answer 2

i know this is an old post, but the below will make the region under the curve transparent:

figure;
[X,Y,Z] = peaks(10);
handle_figure = waterfall( X, Y, Z );
set( handle_figure, 'FaceColor', 'none' );
