Matlab Demos

My favorite Matlab demo was by far the "Earth's Topography" demo. For me, the demo showed just how powerful Matlab's graphics are by creating a contour map of the earth, and then creating a two dimensional plot of the earth with altitude values, where different shades of green and blue represent the height and depth of the land and oceans respectively. Furthermore, the 3d graphing of the earth was incredibly accurate and impressive.
