Shift the z -value of contour plot in Matlab 2014b

Question

I\'m trying to make a figure of a surface plot, and beneath the surface I wish to show the contour lines, but I want the contour to be at z = -1 instead of at the d

Answer 1

So, I couldn't really figure out to do it as proposed in the example I found and posted, but I found a way that works. What I ended up doing was basically this:

figure
hold on
surf(X,Y,Z+1);
contour(X,Y,Z);
zz = get(gca,'ZTick');
set(gca,'ZTickLabel',sprintf('%3.1f\n',zz-1));

This gets me the surf and contour in the same figure, but yields some problems with color mappings.
