plot z displacement of a plate

Hi All,

I am running image processing of a plate under transverse loading. the out put from DIC (image processing software) is location of nodes(x and y) and displacement in z direction. My question is that: How can I plot the displacement (z) through the plate (I mean surface plot or contour or sth like that)?

Thanks

Thanks, What is the meaning of peaks (50)?

Thanks is accepting the answer. peaks creates a data to demonstrate the surf, mesh etc., plots. MATLAB documentation is easy, you may consider reading it.
