The surface properties are:
__modified__: "off" | {"on"}alphadata: scalar | matrix, def. 1Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. alphadata is unused.
alphadatamapping: "direct" | "none" | {"scaled"}Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. alphadatamapping is unused.
ambientstrength: scalar, def. 0.30000Strength of the ambient light. Value between 0.0 and 1.0
backfacelighting: "lit" | {"reverselit"} | "unlit""lit": The normals are used as is for lighting. "reverselit": The normals are always oriented towards the point of view. "unlit": Faces with normals pointing away from the point of view are unlit.
beingdeleted: {"off"} | "on"busyaction: "cancel" | {"queue"}buttondownfcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)cdata: matrix, def. 3-by-3 doublecdatamapping: "direct" | {"scaled"}cdatasource: def. ""children (read-only): vector of graphics handles, def. [](0x1)children is unused.
clipping: "off" | {"on"}If clipping is "on", the surface is clipped in its parent axes limits.
createfcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)Callback function executed immediately after surface has been created. Function is set by using default property on root object, e.g., set (0, "defaultsurfacecreatefcn", 'disp ("surface created!")').
deletefcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)Callback function executed immediately before surface is deleted.
diffusestrength: scalar, def. 0.60000Strength of the diffuse reflex. Value between 0.0 (no diffuse reflex) and 1.0 (full diffuse reflex).
displayname: def. ""Text for the legend entry corresponding to this surface.
edgealpha: scalar, def. 1Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. edgealpha is unused.
edgecolor: def. [0 0 0]edgelighting: "flat" | "gouraud" | {"none"} | "phong"When set to a value other than "none", the edges of the object are drawn with light and shadow effects. Supported values are "none" (no lighting effects), "flat" (facetted look) and "gouraud" (linear interpolation of the lighting effects between the vertices). "phong" is deprecated and has the same effect as "gouraud".
facealpha: scalar | matrix, def. 1Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. facealpha is unused.
facecolor: {"flat"} | "interp" | "none" | "texturemap"facelighting: {"flat"} | "gouraud" | "none" | "phong"When set to a value other than "none", the faces of the object are drawn with light and shadow effects. Supported values are "none" (no lighting effects), "flat" (facetted look) and "gouraud" (linear interpolation of the lighting effects between the vertices). "phong" is deprecated and has the same effect as "gouraud".
facenormals: def. [](0x0)facenormalsmode: {"auto"} | "manual"handlevisibility: "callback" | "off" | {"on"}If handlevisibility is "off", the surface’s handle is not visible in its parent’s "children" property.
hittest: "off" | {"on"}interpreter: "latex" | "none" | {"tex"}interruptible: "off" | {"on"}linestyle: {"-"} | "--" | "-." | ":" | "none"See Line Styles.

selected: {"off"} | "on"selectionhighlight: "off" | {"on"}specularcolorreflectance: scalar, def. 1Reflectance for specular color. Value between 0.0 (color of underlying face) and 1.0 (color of light source).
specularexponent: scalar, def. 10Exponent for the specular reflex. The lower the value, the more the reflex is spread out.
specularstrength: scalar, def. 0.90000Strength of the specular reflex. Value between 0.0 (no specular reflex) and 1.0 (full specular reflex).
tag: string, def. ""A user-defined string to label the graphics object.
type (read-only): stringClass name of the graphics object. type is always "surface"
uicontextmenu: graphics handle, def. [](0x0)Graphics handle of the uicontextmenu object that is currently associated to this surface object.
userdata: Any Octave data, def. [](0x0)User-defined data to associate with the graphics object.
vertexnormals: def. 3-by-3-by-3 doublevertexnormalsmode: {"auto"} | "manual"visible: "off" | {"on"}If visible is "off", the surface is not rendered on screen.
