    Dear Vikash<br>
    <br>
    Scilab talking. <br>
    <br>
    try to use plot3d(x,y,z), z being a matrix (as opposed to vector)<br>
    <br>
    you can build from this working example:<br>
    <br>
    x=(-10:0.13:10)';<br>
    t=(0:0.13:20)';<br>
    z=(sin((x*t') ./2).^2) ./ (x *x');<br>
    p=x *x';<br>
    clf, plot3d(x,t,z)<br>
    <br>
    note the difference between element-wise operations and matricial
    operations like x*t'<div><div class="h5"><br>
