plot3(X1,Y1,Z1): where X1, Y1, Z1 are vectors or matrices, plots one or more lines in
three-dimensional space through the points whose coordinates are the elements of X1, Y1,
and Z1.
Surf Description
Surface plots are useful for visualizing matrices that are too large to display in numerical
form
surface : plots of matrix data created using the row and column indices of each element as
the x-and y-coordinates and the value of each element as the z-coordinate
>> surf( [ 8 7 3 ; 9 5 10 ])
Mesh
Mesh plots are wire-frame surfaces that color only the lines connecting the defining points.
Surface plots display both the connecting lines and the faces of the surface in color.

Image processing
There are 5 main formats in which to store images. Why would you choose one over
another, and what are the differences?
Tagged Image File Format. TIFF images create very large file sizes. TIFF images are
uncompressed and thus contain a lot of detailed image data (which is why the files are so
big) TIFFs are also extremely flexible in terms of color (they can be grayscale). It used in
photo software (such as Photoshop)
Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPEG files are images that have been compressed to
store a lot of information in a small-size file. Most digital cameras store photos in JPEG
format. A JPEG is compressed in a way that loses some of the image detail during the
compression in order to make the file small (and thus called “lossy” compression). So it is
usually used for photographs on the web, because they create a small file that is easily
loaded on a web page and also looks good. JPEG files are bad for line drawings or
graphics, as the compression makes them look jagged lines instead of straight ones.
3. GIF, .gif
Graphic Interchange Format. This format compresses images but, as different from JPEG,
the compression is lossless (no detail is lost in the compression, but the file can’t be made
as small as a JPEG). GIFs also have limited color range suitable for the web but not for
printing. So it is never used for photography, because of the limited number of colors.
GIFs can also be used for animationsاحياء.
4. PNG, .png
Portable Network Graphics. It allows for a full range of color and better compression.
It’s used almost exclusively for web images, never for print images. For photographs,
PNG is not as good as JPEG, because it creates a larger file. But for images with some
text, or line art, it’s better When you take a screenshot, most screenshots are a mix of
images and text.
Raw image files contain data from a digital camera. The files are called raw because they
haven’t been processed. So the size of a raw file is extremely large. Usually they are
converted to TIFF before editing and color-correcting.
