Matlab2tikz problem with contourf

Question

I´ve got a problem concerning inserting a Tikz-Plot from Matab into my Tex-file. The matlab-script I use to produce the plot is (Contourf-Plot):

%%
clear all; clc;
format bank;


fontname = 'Helvetica';
set(0,'defaultaxesfontname',fontname);
set(0,'defaulttextfontname',fontname);

fontsize = 18;
set(0,'defaultaxesfontsize',fontsize);
set(0,'defaulttextfontsize',fontsize);

%set(0,'defaulttextinterpreter','latex')
set(0,'defaulttextinterpreter','tex')

%%
file = 'DOE_AUSWERTUNG_BP_DK.txt';

%%%Bestimmung der Spaltenanzahl
A=importdata(file);
Groesse=size(A);

Daten_KF=A(2:end,1:end-1);
X_Werte=A(1,1:end-1)';
Y_Werte=A(2:end,end);
%%
x=100;
y=100;
width=1120; %Format 16:9
height=630; %Format 16:9

%AGR
fig1=figure(1);
levels=0.5:0.1:1.5;
[C,h]=contourf(X_Werte,Y_Werte,Daten_KF,levels);box on; grid on; hold on;
clabel(C,h)
shading interp;
colormap(gray);hold on;

set(gca,'XLim',[(min(X_Werte)) (max(X_Werte))],'XTick',[0:10:100]);
set(gca,'YLim',[(min(Y_Werte)) (max(Y_Werte))],'YTick',-1:1:10);
set(gca,'ZLim',[0 1.5],'ZTick',0:0.1:2);
XLabel = xlabel('X [°]');
YLabel = ylabel('Y [°]');
colormap(gray);
colorbar;
l=legend('Zeit [s]');

set(l,'FontSize',14,'Location','NorthEast');
name = ([file 'Zeit']);
hold off;
%Speichern_des_Plots
tightInset = get(gca, 'TightInset');
position(1) = tightInset(1);
position(2) = tightInset(2);
position(3) = 1 - tightInset(1) - tightInset(3);
position(4) = 1 - tightInset(2) - tightInset(4);
set(gca, 'Position', position);
set(gcf,'PaperOrientation','landscape');
set(gcf,'PaperPosition', [1 1 28 19]);
print(gcf, '-dpdf', '-r1200',[name '.pdf']);
print(gcf,'-deps2', [name '.eps']);
print(gcf,'-dmeta', '-r1200', [name '.emf']); 
matlab2tikz([name '.tikz'],'standalone',true,'width','\figW','height','\figH','extraaxisoptions',['legend style={legend cell align=left,legend pos=north east,font=\footnotesize}']);

The resulting plot, I get in Matlab is:

When I use \input in latex to insert the tikzpicture, my latex-result is:

there is no problem at all, when I use contour instead of contourf in matlab or surf instead of contourf. But anyway, what I need is a filled contour plot with isoloines. Can anybody help me?

This is my Input for the matlab-Skript:

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comments, the underlying problem is a bug in matlab2tikz.

However, pgfplots 1.14 (release date august 2016) supports filled contour plots out of the box and without 3rd party tools. Your example needs can be visualized as follows:

1. take you .m file as-is, and run

.

[X,Y]=meshgrid(X_Werte,Y_Werte);
data = [ X(:) Y(:) Z(:) ]
% or -ascii
save P.dat data -ASCII
size(X)
ans =
   15.00    20.00

2. use the resulting P.dat in pgfplots as follows:

.

\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepgfplotslibrary{patchplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.14}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[view={0}{90},colorbar as legend,colormap/blackwhite,]
    \addplot3[
        contour filled={
           levels={0.5,0.6,...,1.5},
        },
        patch type=bilinear,
        mesh/cols=20,mesh/ordering=y varies,
    ]
    table {P.dat};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

The instruction mesh/cols=20,mesh/ordering=y varies tells pgfplots how to import the data file where patch type=bilinear improves the quality of the result.

Here, colorbar as legend configures the colorbar to describe all employed labels. Note that contour filled in pgfplots comes without label nodes inside of the image.
