I am creating a 3-axis plot using:

plot3(x,y,z,'*')

However, I would like to view the figure in 2D (with 3 axis, covering 3 sides of the figure).  
Is this possible?  Thanks for any help.

  The display of plot3 is of necessity a two-dimensional view.  The matlab function 'view' is used to adjust this in accordance with a user's desired azimuth and elevation angles with respect to a hypothetical three-dimensional plot.  See its documentation.

Could you point us to a sample of what you would like the result to look 
like? It's hard to imagine at the moment, unless you were using a 
non-linear unfolding like is done for maps of the Earth.

You can use PLOTYY; hope it helps.
