Creating a waterfall plot

I have data in a 2d plot, but I want to display it as a "waterfall" with the first value x(0),y(0) at the top, and x(i),y(i) at the bottom. You can visualize just flipping the plot over the x axis. This can be simply done by inverting the y data, but then on the plot, I have negative y values when in reality, they are positive. Is there any way to "flip" the plot?

can you post the code for creating this 2d waterfall please? if you still have it

flipud() or fliplr() ?

doc fliplr
doc flipud

I explored those, and I thought flipud would work. However, if you have x=[1;2;3] and y=[4;5;6] and x2=flipud(x) and y2=flipud(y)...x2=[3;2;1] and y2=[6;5;4], both plots will look the same. If I could do flipud(plot(x,y)), that is the effect I am going for...

What about just changing the 'XDir' of the axes to 'reverse' so that it's flipped?

plot(whatever);
set(gca,'XDir','reverse');

Perfect! Thanks
