Create a contour plot from 3 vectors

I am trying to create a contour plot from this data:

pH  D   Tur
5.10    3   79.18918919
5.50    6   92.97297297

7.30    27  89.63963964
7.50    30  81.98198198

      

I imported the data as 3 different vectors: pH, D and Tur

I created a grid and griddate and plotted a path

[X Y]=meshgrid(pH,D);
Z=griddata(pH,D,Tur,X,Y);
contourf(X,Y,Z)

      

I was hoping for something like this:

Hopped plot

But I get this:

Ugly plot

You need to sort your inputs meshgrid

first:

[X, Y] = meshgrid(sort(pH), sort(D));
Z = griddata(pH, D, Tur, X, Y);
contourf(X, Y, Z);

      

Or another alternative is to use unique

to sort and remove redundant values ​​from pH

and D

, which reduces the size of the matrices created meshgrid

:



[X, Y] = meshgrid(unique(pH), unique(D));
Z = griddata(pH, D, Tur, X, Y);
contourf(X, Y, Z);

      

And both of these options give the same graphical output:
