I have made a 3D-plot using 'meshc'. I want to adjust the placement of the labels on the contour lines.
The handle return by the 'meshc' is
h =
2x1 graphics array:
Surface
Contour
Hence, I used the following commands to display the labels.
hContour=h(2);
hContour.ShowText='on';
The labels are too crowded. I want to manually adjust their location and the font size.

Hey Ibrahim,
have a look at Contour Properties - the LabelSpacing property might help. Also you can specify your own contour levels (see the Contour Levels property group) which might be used to control the labels indirectly.
Greetings, David

Use the clabel function for full control on the lines & labels. With the current plot you cannot achieve your goal. If you want to keep the current lines, a workaround maybe to use a colorbar with color levels matching exactly your contour levels and then label the colorbar accordingly.
