Hi members..newbie in matlab and already facing challenges.
I just want to use the surface fitting tool in matlab r2010a. 
My data comes from an matrix (table) with m lines and n cols. 
When i load the sftool i can read x and y but Matlab does not want to load my Z var. 

I must be clearly doing something wrong.. as my issue is exactly as defined in the example of  the help files...

x = linspace( 0, 1, 7 );
    y = linspace( 0, 1, 9 ).';
    z = bsxfun( @franke, x, y );

but even with these variables i cannot load z values in the surface fitting tool. What is wrong with this simple task? 

PS. The only cases working are when x,y,z are column vectors. But my data is a matrix as it has been exported as ascii from an image.

What does "does not want to load my Z var" mean?  Does it throw a warning? 
Does it throw an error?  Does it shut down MATLAB?  Does it power down your 
computer?  Does it knock out internet service to your neighborhood?

If it throws a warning or error, what is the FULL, EXACT text of the warning 
or error?  [No paraphrasing!]

Hi 
I have a similar problem. 
I have 3 3 matrix in my workspace. X, Y and Z. the one with Single column are automatically shown in the drop down menu of the sftoolbox, but Z (which has multiple rows and columns) does not show up.

No error messages or internet shutdown across neighborhood. 
Will appreciate any help on this.
