MATLAB Subplot Visualization: Waterfall and Contour Plots of the Peaks Function

The code provided creates a figure with two subplots.

In the first subplot (subplot(1,2,1)), it generates a 3D surface plot using the 'peaks' function. The 'peaks' function generates X, Y, and Z matrices that represent the peaks function in MATLAB. The 'waterfall' function is then used to create a 3D waterfall plot of the data. The labels for the x, y, and z axes are also added using the xlabel, ylabel, and zlabel functions.

In the second subplot (subplot(1,2,2)), a 3D contour plot is created using the 'contour3' function. The 'contour3' function creates contour lines for the Z matrix at the specified number of levels (in this case, 12) and colors them black. Again, the labels for the x, y, and z axes are added.

Overall, this code creates two subplots showing different visualizations of the 'peaks' data: a 3D waterfall plot in the first subplot and a 3D contour plot in the second subplot.
